AnnotationThe History and Aetiology Schedule (HAS) is designed to obtain a standardised method of collecting history and aetiology information from an informant to accompany information obtained from the respondent by use of Geriatric Mental State scale (GMS). This paper describes the construction and preliminary validation of an algorithm to generate from the HAS a surrogate for the GMS, to produce a tentative diagnosis of dementia or non-dementia, when only HAS information is available.
