The ratio of men to women was 84.8% to 15.2%. Boys were significantly more (χ2 = 17.449, df = 1, p<0.001). The domain of "Mental health" was the highest score in each domain, and there was a significant difference between "Physical function" and "Social function" (F(2,171）=13.98, p<0.001). Boys score was significantly lower in the domain of "social function"(t =-2.34, df = 56, p<0.05). And, in the domain of "Social function", the score of the upper grades was low and a marginally significant. It became clear that IN-Child has educational problem concerning "Social function" in particular.
