I wish to ask parents no more than 30 questions about the mental health of their adult children. One example of such a survey - but a long one - is ABCL 18/59. I am looking for something shorter like the General Health Questionnaire - but for parents. Of course, it does not have to be specifically for parents it can be for caregivers or any adult reporting on other adults. Although a tool for physicians will not do, as it has to be in a layman's language.
I know this is not much help, but I have not managed to find one. Perhaps there is not a tool just as you hoped for, and that you should look more generally?
Good luck with this.

Hi, thank you for your attempts. Although “We Are More than Our Parents’ Mental Illness”: Narratives from Adult Children" is interesting I have noticed that they used a tool similar enough to what I am looking for.
Maybe I should extend this question to couples researchers. They may know of a tool where one spouse answers about the other? I could use it just the same for Parents and adult children (with minor changes).
