Interview Forms

Form layout and question style

• the interview uses a framework of numbered sections, subsections and questions

• questions are worded and ordered to create a conversation

• patient and carer names are inserted dynamically in the question text, adding to the conversational feel

• the Interview Explorers make it easy to depart from the given question order, or to skip questions and sections, when you choose

• double-click a question number to add a “marginal note” in a linked Microsoft Word document; notes are later integrated with the reports

Question status

• questions are disabled when your responses to other questions show them to be inapplicable

• question status is reflected graphically on the interview forms:
