O Technology-Assisted Mental Health Screening

About the study

Timely, accurate identification of mental health concerns is a critical bottleneck. This project develops and validates an accessible, scientifically grounded online platform for self-report screening and research profiling.

Purpose

The goal is to evaluate whether a secure online platform can deliver validated questionnaires at scale, collect high-quality data, and generate structured, research-based summaries that support — but never replace — professional judgment. The work sits at the intersection of psychology, psychometrics, data science, and digital health.

The questionnaires

Four complementary instruments capture multiple dimensions of psychological functioning: a measure of social communication and behavioral patterns (social cues, participation, routine and change, sensory sensitivity, and camouflaging); a Big Five personality measure; the PHQ-9 for depressive symptoms; and the GAD-7 for anxiety symptoms.

Who can take part

Adults aged 18 or older who can read the survey language and access it on an internet-enabled device. Participation is entirely voluntary, there is no cost, and there is no payment.

What we do with responses

Responses are combined into de-identified research profiles used for psychometric evaluation and statistical analysis. De-identified datasets may be retained for future research and shared with other researchers in de-identified form. See Privacy & data for details.
