John--
I say go for it--but be aware of the pitfalls. The grid is difficult to
administer, and I have not found that self-administration or computer
administration works very well. You have to sit with the participant and
be prepared to answer questions, explain things repeatedly, take more time
than you had hoped, etc. Definitely do some practice grids before
starting your project.
