The Interview for Decisional Abilities (IDA) is an interview tool used by Adult Protective Services (APS) and Area Agency on Aging (AAA) professionals to learn more about their client's decision-making abilities. AAA workers across Pennsylvania are  being trained to use the IDA as a part of the client interview to better understand how a client thinks about the risks they are facing and determine if a capacity referral might be necessary.
