If the participant activated the Help button they were shown the message:
| Answer this question for your adopted mother only. If you are not sure if your adopted mother suffered from any of the listed illnesses please select Do not know. If you know your adopted mother suffered from certain listed illnesses but are unsure about others, only select the ones you are sure about. |
The information was collected from participants who indicated they were adopted as a child, as defined by their answers to Field 1767 and who indicated whether their adopted mother was still alive or had died, as defined by their answers to Field 3942.
Note that although Prostate cancer is present in Data-Coding 1010, participants were not presented with this option when selecting adopted Mother illnesses.
