DESCRIPTION:In recent decades\, computers have dramatically ch
 anged our lives and how we interact with the world
 . The majority of mental health research\, however
 \, still relies on structured interviews and paper
 -based questionnaires and scales to measure mental
  disorders. These are often inefficient\, lengthy\
 , time consuming\, and frequently require a clinic
 al rater.\n\nThis talk will focus on the role of c
 omputers in the assessment of mental health. Speci
 al attention will be given to how we can use moder
 n computer power to improve the efficacy of mental
  health assessment. The basic concepts and benefit
 s of computerized adaptive testing will be explain
 ed followed by a demonstration of a simple online 
 prototype platform for adaptive assessment of sele
 cted mental health conditions.\n
