participants who complete each study arm. The standard operation procedures will be evaluated by comparing arms on the following as outcome measures: length of time to train; number of contacts and length of time; number of completed tests in the cognitive and non-cognitive domains. Two sample t-tests will be used to compare arms, using all two-group combinations, across each of these primary outcome measures. Results of the baseline and 1 month feasibility outcomes will be presented. Conclusions: This pilot study will provide critical information to enable a National home based assessment trial to begin in the summer of 2007 and will provide broad knowledge of how elders interface with new data collection technologies.
