This article presents the results of the application of a computerized diagnostic method (HAS–AGECAT) to a standardized psychiatric History and Aetiology Schedule (HAS) designed for use with older people. In a community sample from Zaragoza good agreement (kappa = 0.76) was obtained between HAS–AGECAT and the interviewing psychiatrist. The discrepant cases are discussed in detail.
