Clinical Screenings
Clinical screening instruments are short, standardized questionnaires used in healthcare to quickly identify who might benefit from a closer professional evaluation. They don't replace a diagnostic conversation, but offer a first, scientifically grounded indication.
The tests in this category — including PHQ-9 (depression), GAD-7 (anxiety), AUDIT (alcohol use), GAS-7 (gaming), and SCOFF (eating habits) — are among the most extensively studied instruments of their kind worldwide and are used in primary care, among other settings. It's always important to keep the difference in mind between a concerning screening result and an actual diagnosis, which can only be made in a professional conversation.
