To develop an effective screening model, it is crucial to replicate best clinical practices through the triangulation of perspectives and data. For example, when a child is referred for behavioral health services, the clinician considers the concerns expressed by parents, teachers, or other referral sources, as well as the child's own views. These different perspectives may align perfectly, or they may vary and offer valuable clinical information. Additionally, behavioral data will be collected to identify patterns that can indicate an underlying clinical issue. Therefore, a comprehensive screening process must consider these three aspects to capture the immediate concerns of the young
personyouth, the perspectives of adults who know them well, and relevant behaviors that may indicate a need for additional support. However, unlike a comprehensive assessment, the screening needs to be rapid, efficient, and cost-effective, since it involves a large number of young peopleyouth. The screening results should be easily transferable, allowing for quick communication of alerts to the relevant adults who can respond promptly.
