An on-line, computer-based, self-administered questionnaire has been tested using patients 1 to 27 months of age (majority, 25 minutes). Computer printouts provided to clinic physicians included mother9s responses to questions and pinpointed certain identifiable problem areas (e.g., check cardiac status, check renal status, tell parent not to prop bottle while feeding, talk with parent about burping, mother has some questions she wants to ask you). Results indicate acceptance of the questionnaire by 95% of the mothers and substantial agreement between the findings recorded in the printouts and those recorded independently by the clinic physicians. Discrepancies were noted where the computer picked up information not recorded by the clinic physicians (e.g., mother9s complaints, type of formula, how mixed, amounts given and how often, parental attitudes).
