The Family Life, Activity, Sun, Health, and Eating (FLASHE) study
The FLASHE study was conducted from April to October of 2014 with a demographically representative U.S. sample of parents and their adolescents recruited from an already existing group of respondents of a panel research organization.1-3 Each parent and adolescent completed two Internet-based surveys. A parent (mother or father) and an adolescent were sampled from each household. Parents went through a screening process, and information on all the children in the household was collected via a full household roster with one eligible adolescent being randomly selected.1-3 Eligible adolescents were between the ages of 12 and 17 and lived in the parent’s household at least 50 percent of the time.1-3 The FLASHE study design, implementation procedures, and methods are outlined in detail elsewhere.1-3
