Database design help - am I on the wrong track?

Hi community.  I really need some guidance on my data structure please.

I'm building an app to do a health assessment.  I have a legacy paper form full of check boxes.  It is 3 pages long, comprising 28 categories with anywhere from 3 to 12 check boxes in each category.  Multiple check boxes can be selected in each category.

What I want to do is record an assessment to cover all these check boxes.  Currently I also want to record the person's name, date of the assessment, and their email address.

In a seperate table I want to associate detail related to each check box in the form.  A title, short summary, long detail text, and an image.

With this data I want to be able to see the results of the assessment, showing either an on screen report or a PDF showing the results from the items that were "Checked" and the resulting detail.

I started creating the assessment form,  manually creating the categories and using an enum list, but I didn't know how to connect those results to my details table, and hence generate the report.

Anyone fancy giving me a few pointers please?

Cheers - Kev

You probably need a new table as a child table that references the main table, where the user would create a new record per checkbox.
