Diaries

Southampton Women’s Survey and Born in Bradford request the parent to complete a

detailed food frequency diary. Born in Bradford had a very detailed time-use diary for

the parent to complete. Growing Up in Hungary included a household task diary which

asked who in the household was responsible for which task, while Fragile Families

used a childcare calendar. The aforementioned BabySteps App used with Children of

the 2020s requests the parent to input information in the form of various daily

trackers including, but not limited to, the child’s sleep schedule. The app also provides

the parent with a monthly research activity which is released between data collection

waves.
