CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It reviews recent emotional changes, day-to-day functioning, and safety warning signs that may indicate a need for added support. It is a reflective screening tool and does not provide a diagnosis.
How should the results be interpreted?
The score bands are unvalidated summaries meant to support reflection, not to determine whether counseling is required. Concerns should be taken seriously even if the score is low.
What if there are signs of immediate danger?
If there is immediate risk of harm, contact local emergency services or a crisis line right away. Stay with the teenager when it is safe to do so.
How long does it take and how many questions are included?
The quiz includes 15 questions. Estimated completion time is about 10 minutes.
Who should complete the quiz and what time frame should be used?
It can be completed by a parent or caregiver, or by the teenager if appropriate. Answer based on the most recent pattern of behavior and feelings, typically the past few weeks.
