Abstract

The study analysed the usefulness of the Home Screening Questionnaire (HSQ) as an alternative to the Home Observation and Measurement of the Environment inventory (HOME). Both are measures of the home environment quality. Both measures significantly intercorrelated. It was concluded that the HSQ is an easy to administrate alternative to the HOME inventory.
