Abstract
Screening is the process of measuring and detecting the signs and symptoms of a disorder before the disorder has progressed. While the evidence on the effectiveness and quality of mental health screening tools is advancing, the application of these tools into standard clinical practice has lagged behind due to implementation barriers in primary care settings. The goal of this chapter is to address the range of screening tools for specific patient populations and to address the barriers for incorporating these standardized tools into primary care. This chapter provides descriptions of reliable and valid screening tools for preschoolers, school-age children, adolescents, adults and older adults—men and women—and older adults. There are also descriptions of how screening tools are used in a clinical setting by defining roles and responsibilities for team members, identifying practice management and financial considerations, and describing relevant opportunities for quality improvement.
