Purpose: To develop a mobile app containing screening questionnaires for mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders to help streamline efficiency of use for both pediatric patients and health care professional staff

OVERVIEW
Early detection of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders is vital to prevent ongoing impairment and provide effective treatment services.
Pediatricians report the need for standardized, easily deployed, accessible, and automatically scored mobile screening measures for completion by parents in waiting rooms prior to commencing office visits in pediatric primary care settings. Consistent use of developmentally appropriate, psychometrically strong screening questionnaires can improve rates of early detection and access to services which has important public health implications for children’s overall health and well-being. Currently, there are no mobile software applications containing screening questionnaires that can be accessed on multiple platforms by parents in a pediatrician’s waiting room where the results can be immediately and automatically provided to pediatricians for use during the office visit.
