Family functioning (FAD)
The Family Assesment Device (FAD) is an instrument to measure the structural, organizational, and transactional characteristics of families (section: mental health). It is based on the McMaster Model of Family Functioning (MMFF). The full FAD consists of 60 items distributed over 6 dimensions of family functioning:
- affective involvement
- affective responsiveness
- behavioral control
- communication
- problem solving
- roles
plus a 7th scale to measure general femily functioning. In Lifelines, only the 7th general functioning scale was implemented in the 1A and 2A Child Questionnaire.
Note that Lifelines also assessed familial bonds with several general questions.
