Family functioning (FAD)
The Family Assesment Device (FAD) is an instrument to measure the structural, organizational, and transactional characteristics of families (section: children & adolescents). 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 family functioning. In Lifelines, only the 7th general functioning scale was implemented in the 1A and 2A Child Questionnaire.
Note that Lifelines also assessed rearing style with the EMBU questionnaire.
