The short form delivers all the functionality required to assess current health, including biometrics, but omits chronic and future disease risk assessments

Scannable Bubble Forms The assessment is also available for paper-andpencil completion using bubble forms, in English or Spanish, that support standard scanning technologies. Scanned data from paper forms is loaded into our database and merged with data collected through the online questionnaire, providing a single database for reporting.

Biometric Data Four options are available for entry of laboratory results and vital signs: •

Self-report by the participant using ranges or numerical values.

Entry by health coaches using our lab tool option.

Entry by screener using our lab tool option.
