Instrument Detailsđź”—
This is a modified version of ECHO-wide Cohort Version 01.20 / November 30, 2018 Version “Caregiver Occupation and Employment”. Caregiver employment and industry can provide information on socioeconomic position, shift work, and take-home environmental exposures that can adversely affect the health of children in the home, especially at young ages when children spend time on the floor and have hand-to-mouth behaviors (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, 2024; National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, 1995).
Instruction prompts were modified to make language more consistent with other sections and assessment items, which included several new items. Response options were also updated to require radio button choices in place of the write-in durations option in the ECHO form. See details.
