The BHS consists of psychiatric symptom scales and risk behaviors that cover all the psychosocial areas suggested by best practice guidelines. Results are immediately scored, summarized, and securely sent to a designated clinician for review. Most clinicians can scan the report within 10 seconds. 

The BHS screens across the following domains:

  • Suicidality

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Substance Use

  • Eating Disorders

  • Traumatic Stress

  • Self Harm 

  • Psychosis

  • Gun Access

  • Exercise

  • Bullying

  • Physical/Sexual Abuse

  • Work/School Activities

  • Family Environment

  • General Medical

  • Safety Practices

Empirical Support for the BHS
