THE CHANGE

The Form

The easiest part of the change process involved the VI CAP data collection instrument. The number of questions on the form was reduced to 95. For more than two years, VI CAP personnel sifted through the database to learn which data were most probative and offered the best possibility of suggesting relationships between or among cases. Frequently reported attributes were made part of the form, and infrequently used attributes were discarded. The form revision was very much like that undertaken by the VI CAP staff in 1986 when the variables and attributes of the comprehensive form that Pierce Brooks had initiated were trimmed.
