Participants perceived the "CAT Fatigue RA" as easy to use, and also its usefulness was expressed. A 2.0 version has been improved according to the participants' comments, and is currently being used in a validation study before it will be implemented in daily clinical practice. Our results give a first indication that CAT methodology may outperform traditional questionnaires not merely on measurement precision, but also on usability and acceptance valuation.
