The same conceptual framework is used for the ESS-CHAD as for the adult ESS, and they are scored the same way. The activities in both questionnaires have the same relative somnificities. The reference range of ‘normal’ scores is believed to be the same, but that needs confirmation.
Most children over the age of about nine years, and most adolescents, can answer the ESS-CHAD without assistance. Most younger children require parental assistance, or a parent/carer can answer the questionnaire for them. The EES-CHAD has been shown to be valid, reliable, and unidimensional (Janssen et al, 2017).
