We developed a computer-based utility asse … We developed a computer-based utility assessment tool to assess the preferencesof patients towards HIV -related health states and identify risk behaviors (bothsexual and drug related) of the patient being interviewed. The reliability ofthe computer-based interview was assessed through comparison withperson-to-person interviews.Our pilot study included 22 patients. Twelve of these patients were alsointerviewed by the research assistants in person-to-person interviews. Theagreement between the person-to-person and computer-based interviews wasexcellent (3 discrepancies of 180 compared answers), and the majority of thepatients preferred to use the computer to disclose sensitive informationregarding risk behaviors. Our study suggests that assessment of patientpreferences and risk factors can be performed reliably through a computer-basedinterview. eliably through a computer-basedinterview.
