This article describes the process of translating the Family Management Style (FMS) Framework into a measure of FMS Survey. The conceptual underpinnings of the FMS Survey are briefly described as are the steps for translating the FMS major components and dimensions into a questionnaire to assess the family response to a childhood chronic illness. Content validity testing has been completed on the FMS Survey. Future plans include full-scale field testing of remaining psychometric properties.
