Personalized Health
Questionnaire

An interactive demo of a personalized health questionnaire using mixture computerized adaptive testing (mixture-CAT).

Health questionnaires often use the same questions for everyone. However, people from different backgrounds, life experiences, and health conditions may understand or relate to those questions in different ways.

Our goal is to create shorter questionnaires that are tailored to each person’s unique social and health contexts. We are testing a new approach called mixture computerized adaptive testing or mixture-CAT for short. It uses background information about a person to select the questions that may be most relevant to them. This helps make questionnaires more personalized and meaningful.


This demo shows a personalized health questionnaire using information about your background and health. As you answer questions, the questionnaire selects the questions that are most relevant to you.

Step 3: Your personalized health questionnaire results

After you complete the questionnaire, your personalized health results will be displayed in a colored bar and a line graph. The questions selected for you and your responses will also be displayed at the bottom of the page.
