Frequently asked questions about CRI

Who are your screeners?

The typical Mental Health America screener is female, under the age of 25 and based in the U.S. Across all demographics, our screeners are help-seeking, with over 75% of our population scoring moderate to severe risk for a mental health condition.

Are your screening tools validated?

All of our free mental health screens are adapted from clinically validated questionnaires, such as the PHQ-9, PQ-B, and GAD-7.

How is your data collected?
I want to help contribute to content. How do I know MHA Screening is the right platform?

It’s important to think about what populations you want to reach, the type of content you are most interested in, and what outcomes you desire from working with Mental Health America. MHA Screening is a good platform if you’d like to reach people early in the treatment and recovery process, create innovative resources centered around user engagement, and attract new audiences to your own programs.

Can I advertise on MHA Screening?

We’ve partnered with many organizations to advertise paid services, research studies, and invaluable resources. As we move into the next phase of our strategy, we have decided that advertisements are among the lowest priority of our ongoing work. You are free to send any partnership requests to klucas@mhanational.org to see if your interests align with MHA Screening’s vision.

What types of projects are you involved in?

Take a look at our past research and current projects for more information about what we’re working on. 

Can I link to your MHA Screening materials?

Yes! You are welcome to promote any of our links, with credit, on your platform. Copying & pasting text is not permitted.

Can I use your data?

We collaborate with researchers frequently to collect and provide insights to de-identified screening data. To view our public facing data, visit the Research section for statistics and insights. If you’re interested in more comprehensive data, a contract or data transfer use agreement (DTUA) may be required. Contact klucas@mhanational.org if you’re interested in data sharing.
