Survey Items

Some kids have parents who were ill for some time before they die. Or their parent is unwell at the moment. It is difficult for kids to handle sometimes. Could you say how much these things are true for you?

Because someone in my family is sick or has died…

  1. I’ve been teased
  2. I’ve been treated badly
  3. People have gossiped behind my back
  4. I worry about being rejected
  5. Parents who know don’t want me to be around their kids
  6. I avoid making new friends
  7. I feel different and alone
  8. If people know, they avoid touching me
  9. If people know, they are afraid of me
  10. If people know, they think I am a bad person

    11. Internal Reliability
