Abstract
A computer-assisted telephone system using digitized human speech was developed to administer two rating scales for obsessive-compulsive disorder. For 18 patients, scores derived with this system agreed well with scores from human administration of the scales by telephone and paper-and-pencil scales returned by mail. This approach provides reliable, low-cost, and instantaneous data acquisition.Keywords
