Groot, Wim; van den Brink, Henriette Maassen; van Praag, Bernard – Social Indicators Research, 2007

The Family Affluence Scale (FAS), a four-item measure of family wealth, has been developed in the WHO Health Behaviour in School-aged Children Study as an alternative measure. The aim of this paper is to…
