Abstract
Geriatric adults (at least 65 years of age) completed the Functional S tatus Questionnaire twice, first using the original paper-and-pencil f ormat and again using one of six computer-based interactive methods. S coring via original and computer-based methods was identical. Satisfac tion with computers was high. Of the interactive methods, touchscreen required least training and questionnaire completion time and was rate d most useful.
