Screeners can make our lives much easier! Not only do they add validity and rigor to our diagnostic process, but they allow us to track patient symptoms over time and monitor progress. The diagnostic screening tools below are just a sampling of those available but will be useful to refer to going forward. Even if you do not routinely use them, reviewing the questions asked in these tools can be helpful in refining the questions that you use in patient interviews. PDFs of each of these are uploaded to the wiki page.
