A relativistic distorted-wave impulse-approximation model is applied to quasi-elastic neutrino--nucleus scattering. Neutral-current and charge-current cross sections are evaluated. The strange quark contribution to nucleon form factors is calculated in view of the possibility of its determination. Particular attention is paid to the effect of final state interactions. Their influence on the determination of the strange form factors is investigated.
