Abstract: During the last decade the evaluative content of children’s accounts in interviews has attracted growing interest. However, research on methods to further enable such accounts remains scarce, specifically with regard to the youngest children. The present explorative study examined to what extent the computer-assisted interview In My Shoes (IMS) aided preschool aged children in verbalising experiences of distress or discomfort. Children aged 4 and 5 years old (N = 28) were interviewed about their annual health visit using IMS. The interviews were analysed qualitatively with a focus on the IMS prompts and children’s evaluative statements. The statements were also compared to the coded distress displayed at the video recorded health visit.
