Sammanfattning
In a geographically defined child population aged 0-15, every twelfth child suffered from chronic illness. Their parents and randomly selected control children's parents were asked about their living conditions using questionnaires. Despite reduced hours, more absence from work to care for sick children, and reduced leisure activities, two thirds of the parents found it difficult to cater adequately to the needs of their child.
