Introduction:

This study is a collaboration between the Social Security Administration and the National Institutes of Health to test the usability of a new computer program that has been designed to assess your level of disability. This new software program generates questions for you to answer.


Our research will not analyze your responses and we will not retain your answers. The objective of this study is to assess the usability of the Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) software during the SSA disability application process.


These questions will not be used in your application for benefits and your answers to these questions will not affect your current or any future application.  It is up to you whether you want to answer these questions or not. You can skip any questions that you do not want to answer. Some of these questions may be similar to other questions you may have answered already or may come up during the application process.  Is it okay if I ask you these additional questions?



Choose one response to these questions:

Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree, or Does not apply.
