| Answer this question for your adopted father only. If you are not sure if your adopted father suffered from any of the listed illnesses please select Do not know. If you know your adopted father suffered from certain listed illnesses but are unsure about others, only select the ones you are sure about. |

Note that although Breast cancer is present in Data-Coding 1010, participants were not presented with this option when selecting adopted Father illnesses.
