Abstract
A description is given of the construction and contents of a general medical questionary. The questionary is designed as a screening device, to localize the areas of the patients history which are of most interest. The evaluation of the questionary involves interviewing patients, to determine, as far as possible, their complaints, and then comparing this information with that obtained by the questionary. The results obtained are expressed according to certain properties of questions and questionaries. These values are used to show to what extent the questionary is successful as a screening instrument.Keywords
