چکیده
Methods Owner interviews, literature review, and questionnaires on similar topics for children were used to identify themes and generate items.

Optimum questions contributed to the final 34 item questionnaire taken by 261 owners, repeated by 79 two weeks later to assess test-retest reliability. Associations with ownerassigned body condition score were tested.
