Abstract

The author played a key role in the creation of the Mental Health Screening Form III (MHSF-III). It is noted that one must understand who will be using a given tool, the setting it will be used, and how the information obtained from it will be used by staff. To meet the needs of clinicians, MHSF-III was required to be short, understandable, inexpensive, and easy to use. The tool is not meant to be diagnostic but rather one which can better screen for possible mental health problems and to effectively refer identified cases.
