Comparison of computer-assisted self-interview (CASI) versus clinician-interview (CI) for self-reported vulvovaginal symptoms

This secondary analysis (N = 43) compared computer-assisted self-interview (CASI) to clinician interview for self-report of 8 vulvovaginal symptoms. Concordance was moderate between interview modes (range, 70-86%) with itching and odor having highest agreement. Although prior reports suggest more responses on CASI, we found CASI did not significantly increase self-report of symptoms over clinician interview.
