We developed a seizure questionnaire that could be administered by a trained research assistant in a two-step process, approximating the clinical diagnostic process of a pediatric epileptologist. This questionnaire was designed to study seizure prevalence in a research population of 10-year-old children at risk for epilepsy.English-speaking parents of children 6 months to 12 years old were recruited from the pediatric neurology clinics at Boston Medical Center and interviewed using a computerized questionnaire. An algorithm of parent responses rendered a 4-level ranking scale of seizure probability for events: (1) not likely, (2) indeterminate, (3) probable, (4) almost certain. Blinded to questionnaire results, pediatric neurologists served as the diagnostic gold standard, ranking each patient event using the same four-level scale based on clinical history and examination.The questionnaire was completed by 150 of 177 (84.7
