1 Franciscan Children’s Clinician Resource Portal Mental Health Screening and Assessment Tools for Children and Adolescents The Mental Health Screening and Assessment Tools for Children and Adolescents provided below is designed to help clinicians assess either a broad range of mental health domains or a specific domain in greater detail. This information is by no means exhaustive; other tools may be available and content is subject to change over time. For each tool, the valid age range, completing respondent, number of items, time to complete, reading level, and language availability are listed. The price of each assessment and a link to the assessment are provided in the last column. A description of each assessment is provided at the end of each domain. Please note: A positive score suggests that the presenting symptoms merit further work-up; it is not a diagnosis. An accurate diagnosis can only be confirmed by a thorough assessment by a trained mental health clinician. Symptoms suggestive of suicidal or harmful behaviors warrant immediate attention by a trained clinician. *Users are responsible for ensuring their usage of assessment tools are in compliance with copyright laws.

Ages and Stages Questionnaire: Social Emotional, Third Edition (ASQ- 3): Used to screen young children at risk for behavioral/emotional problems. It captures parents’ in-depth knowledge, highlights a child’s strengths as well as concerns, teaches parents about child development and their own child’s skills, and highlights results that fall in a “monitoring zone,” to make it easier to keep track of children at risk. Concurrent validity found here: http://agesandstages.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/asq3_concurrent_validity.pdf 2. Beck Youth Inventories of Emotional and Social Impairment 2nd Edition (BYI- 2): Five self-report assessments that can be used separately or in any combination to assess a youth's experiences of depression, anxiety, anger, disruptive behavior, and self-concept. Bose-Deakins, J. E., & Floyd, R. G. (2004). A review of the Beck Youth Inventories of Emotional and Social Impairment. Journal of School Psychology, 42(4), 333-340. doi:10.1016/j.jsp.2004.06.002 3. Behavioral and Emotional Screening System (BASC-3 or BESS): Provides a snapshot of behavioral and emotional functioning, quickly identifying children and adolescents who might be in need of additional support. It assesses a wide array of behaviors that represent both behavioral problems and strengths, including internalizing or externalizing problems, issues in school, and adaptive skills. The Behavioral and Emotional Risk Index is a predictor of a broad range of behavioral, emotional and academic problems, while additional subindex scores provide a more targeted view of behavioral and emotional functioning. Psychometrics can be found here: http://ebi.missouri.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/EBA-Brief-BESS.pdf 4. Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths Questionnaire (CANS): An assessment process in addition to a multi-purpose tool developed for children’s services to: support decision making, e.g., level of care and service planning, facilitate quality improvement initiatives, and monitor the outcomes of services. The measure is based on research findings that effective treatment should include both efforts to reduce symptomatology and efforts to use and build strengths. Miller, S. A., Leon, S. C., & Lyons, J. S. (n.d.). The Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths Scale: Factor Analytic Investigations. PsycEXTRA Dataset. doi:10.1037/e656642007-001 5. Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) Preschool & School-Age versions: Used for measuring problems with aggressive behavior, anxiety/depression, attention, rule-breaking behavior, social interaction, physical complaints, disordered thought, and withdrawn/depressed behavior. It is used for initial assessment and can also measure changes in behavior over time or following a treatment. The Parent Checklist is one of the most widely used parental ratings for behavioral problems and social skills in children. For evaluating children younger than age 6, the Child Behavior Checklist/1½-5 is used instead. The CBCL/1½-5, preschool form, obtains parents' ratings of problem items and descriptions of problems, disabilities, major concerns about their child, and the child's strengths. It also includes the Language Development Survey (LDS) for identifying language delays. Nakamura, B. J., Ebesutani, C., Bernstein, A., & Chorpita, B. F. (2008). A Psychometric Analysis of the Child Behavior Checklist DSM-Oriented Scales. Journal of Psychopathology and Behavioral Assessment, 31(3), 178-189. doi:10.1007/s10862-008-9119-8 6. Child/Adolescent Psychiatry Screen (CAPS): A preliminary screening tool to determine if a child may be showing signs or risks of a wide range of mental health issues. Symptoms are arranged in the following sections/clusters to help identify areas for discussion with a trained clinician: anxiety; panic disorder; phobia; obsessive-compulsive disorder; post-traumatic stress; generalized anxiety disorder, enuresis/encopresis; tics; attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder; mania/bipolar disorder; depression; substance abuse; depression; eating disorder; antisocial disorder; oppositional defiant disorder; hallucinations or delusions; learning disability; autism spectrum disorder. No published data on the psychometrics of CAPS. Franciscan Children’s Clinician Portal funded by the generous support of the Rockland Trust Foundation and the Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation 5 7. Columbia Impairment Scale (CIS): Utilized for rating problem behaviors, providing a global measure of impairment. Assesses multiple areas of psychosocial functioning, including interpersonal relationships, occupational or academic functioning, and use of leisure time, in addition to some questions on broad areas of psychopathology (e.g., feeling sad or unhappy).

Conners, Third Edition (Conners 3): An extensively researched and reliable tool for the thorough assessment of ADHD, related learning, behavior, and emotional problems, as well as comorbid disorders such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder with strengthened DSM-5 connections.

Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC and Y-PSC): Designed to aid in the recognition of cognitive, behavioral and emotional problems in children so that appropriate interventions can be delivered as early as possible.
