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. techreport KSL-94-34 KSL-94-34 A Computer-Based Interview to Identify HIV Risk Behaviors and to Assess Patient Preferences for HIV-Related Health States KSL-94-34 1994 Year Tr id Title Computer science Tag Number Updated November 1994.
