Health perceptions and symptom burden in primary care: measuring health using audio computer-assisted self-interviews.
The purpose of the study was to assess the relationships among somatic symptoms and health perception measures in data collected from the implementation of audio computer-assisted self-interviews. It found physical symptoms, notably lack of energy and pain, to be prevalent and severe in an urban safety-net general medical population. Poor health perception in the patient population was attributable largely to lack of energy and pain.

GAPS in implementing health assessments in primary care: a literature review.
The authors conducted a systematic review of literature about health assessments in ambulatory and primary care. They found that training and standardization of practice workflows improves implementation of health assessments, but gaps remain on identification and selection of health assessments, integration with electronic health records, and optimal intervals of health assessments administration.
