I don't see how that survey would really work.. I mean a very dishonest parent might answer never to question "4. My child witnesses a violent discrepancy in our home." even though the child has indeed witnessed violent discrepancies caused by the parent being a pathological lier.

Also, your demographics overlap. I'd have to circle 2 age-groups.
