Questionnaires
Questionnaires are printed on the published reports for each survey. Electronic versions are available online as follows.
All questionnaires of NFRJ surveys were originally written in Japanese. We have English translations for some of these questionnaires: NFRJ98, NFRJ-S01, and NFRJ03. Note that some of our Japanese questionnaires included questions originally translated from English (e.g., Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale in NFRJ98 questionnaires). Which we translated back to English.
