Child Care Environment
The ICCE measures child care environment through 13 questions in four subscales: "human stimulation" , "social stimulation", "avoidance of restriction", and "social support". It can be used as a self-report or interview, meaning that it does not necessarily need a home visit. Each item is assessed using a multiple-choice format, and the answer is given a binary score according to the manual (1 = good, 0 = not good or not sure); the overall score is calculated by summing all items in the scale. A higher score indicates a better child care environment.

Parent-child interaction
Chinese parent-child interaction scale (CPCIS): Parent-child interaction was assessed using the Chinese Parent-Child Interaction Scale, a standardized questionnaire, which has been well-validated using Rasch analysis. It has also been shown to have good person-separation reliability (0.82). Parents were asked to indicate the frequency of 12 parent-child interactive activities they engaged in during the past month on a scale of 0-5 (0 = not occurring, 5 = very frequent). The questionnaire measures the quantity of the most common activities of learning related, reading, recreation, and interaction with environment. The total scores added from all activities were used in the analysis.

The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) we use in this survey is a short screening questionnaire covering the current difficulties in social psychology (i.e. emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity-inattention, peer problems), and personal strengths (i.e. prosocial behavior). High SDQ score is associated with an increase in psychiatric risk, on the opposite, prosocial behavior score is positive with prosocial behavior.
