abstract="Standardized, evidence-based risk assessment is an important component in providing effective bereavement care. E-health intake assessments have been offered alongside or instead of in-person assessments, although evidence concerning the equivalence of assessment results is lacking. This article examines differences between a semi-structured intake assessment for grief intervention conducted over the telephone (N = 330) and in-person (N = 115). Differences in scores and clinical implications were evaluated. Although composite assessment scores were lower in the telephone condition, further examination revealed this occurred in the semi-structured assessment of risk of complications, not the structured grief symptom assessment. Implications for care provision are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
