Aim: The current research was aimed at constructing and validating the Iranian Family Health Questioner. Methods: This was a correlation research in which 853 parents in the city of Tehran with at least one child were selected via cluster random sampling method and then assessed by Family Assessment Device(FAD), Marital satisfaction (ENRICH) and Iranian Family Health Questioner (IFHQ) which was constructed by the researchers. For investigating the construct validity, internal correlation, and factor analysis were used. In order to verify the reliability of the method, Cronbach's alpha coefficients was used and retest after was run after two weeks. Results: The results showed a sufficiently high validity and reliability. Factor analysis results show that the Iranian Family Health Questioner consisted  of five sub-scales, namely: marital, individual, family, parenting and socio-cultural. In addition, retest reliability for whole scale was at 91/0 and for individual at 77/0, for marital dimension at 89/0, for parenting at 81/0, for family at 92/0, and for socio-cultural factors at 78/0. Conclusion: Therefore, from research and therapeutic point of view the questionnaire seems to be appropriate for the Iranian population.
