Children’s Health. We greatly appreciate your participation.
We recently discovered a printing error in the questionnaire that we sent you. As a result, it was

These questions should be completed by a parent or adult caregiver who is familiar with this
child’s health and health care. We estimate that it will take most households less than 5 minutes

If you have any questions about this request, please call us at 1-800-845-8241 or email
