Popis: Recruitment of subjects for research studies is a time consuming process for any research coordinator. This paper introduces three computerized databases designed to help screen potential research candidates by telephone. The three programs discussed are designed to evaluate specific populations: geriatric patients (i.e. Alzheimer's patients), patients with affective disorders and normal volunteers. The interview content, software development, and the utility of these programs is discussed with particular focus on how they can be helpful in the research setting.
