“…Subjects were asked to report their current lifestyle characteristics and any variation in lifestyle since the onset of their SCI. The LCHRA is a computerized lifestyle assessment, 44 modi ed for the SCI population to include disability-speci c modules and recalibrated response choices appropriate for the disability. Psychometric properties of the LCHRA subscales are reported elsewhere, 43 and were found to be satisfactory for this application.…”

With respect to the three morbidity outcomes in this study, cigarette smoking is the most damaging lifestyle behaviour in the spinal cord-injured population. Attention and resources should be directed towards SCI-specific smoking prevention and cessation programmes to prevent the development and exacerbation of chronic diseases in this unique population. Further research is needed to fully understand the associations between lifestyle and chronic diseases in the SCI population.

“…With some exceptions (Skinner, Allen, McIntosh, & Palmer, 1985), other studies have noted that computer-aided interviews increase respondent candor (Ferriter, 1993;Plutchik & Karasu, 1991), including extremes of response (Ferriter, 1993;Thornberry et al, 1991). There is a reduction both in underreporting (Duffy & Waterton, 1984) and biases toward socially desirable and acquiescent response sets (Ferriter, 1993).…”

In general practice care and research, the quality and processing of information can be enhanced by its direct entry into a microcomputer. This article discusses the development and pilot testing of a computerized, interview-assisted instrument that patients and general practitioners can use to report perceptions and experiences of Australian general practice. In general, the instrument was found by the interviewers and respondents to be efficient and enjoyable to use. Its features include visual display of questions, including the automatic selection of questions based on previous answers; rejection of invalid responses; direct recording and display of answers; provision for revising responses; and automatic storage of answers to the hard drive. The authors also discuss some of the limitations of the instrument.

“…12 Some rules for taking histories by computer have recently been proposed by Brownbridge et al49 The time taken to complete a computer questionnaire varies according to age and education,50 and this should be taken into account in designing systems for use by patients. The system users need to be closely consulted, and any effects, particularly on the time spent by staff and patients,25 should be carefully considered.…”
