Talk:Screening (medicine)

message: I've edited this section. A randomised controlled trial is not guaranteed to remove bias, but is the best way we know to minimise bias. Think of tossing a coin - it is possible to randomly end up with six heads followed by six tails, which is clearly biased. But extremely unlikely. Norman21 (talk) 18:47, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

message: This article is very weak. I would like to propose a re-write, which I would be happy to put together, using some of the information currently in the article.

message: The article Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disaster has this phrase:
"due to the screening effect"
It was written in reference to screening for some kind of thyroid issue. The words "screening effect" used to link here, but this page doesn't say anything about the "screening effect", so the link was removed.
I presume that this page used to describe the screening effect, but some deletionist came along and decided that if you want to know what it is, you can enroll in medical school or something. Is this what happened?

message: Better handled under a single page, both pages miss valuable information that the other covers. Carl Fredrik talk 16:16, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[Cancer screening]] 

message: It's not much that I don't think there can be two independent articles, as much as it is that in the current state they would be better served as a single article. The responses don't seem to adress this. Carl Fredrik talk 07:21, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

message: I am hoping to add a section about psychosocial assessments in youth behavioural health. For instance, the digital HEADSS assessment is being used in schools and clinics to help screen for mental health issues in youth and direct them to the counseling services they need. It is also validated by studies: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2733175. Can we publish this?
School-based screening
Some schools in the U.S. have already introduced universal mental health screening programs for their students. For instance, schools in King County, Washington are screening youth behavioural health using the Check Yourself tool by Seattle Children’s Hospital.http://teenhealthcheck.org This tool offers a questionnaire for King County schools to measure, understand, and nurture individual students’ well-being by collecting information about lifestyle, behaviour, and social determinants of health. It also identifies at-risk youth and alerts school staff so they can direct students to the services they need.https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2733175 Hence, universal mental health screening programs are enabling schools to take a preventative approach to mental health issues.

thread_title:  Add a section about mental health screening in schools 

message: Like most people, I have been following the Theranos trial and have just realised that it was a multi-phasic screening programme marketed directly to the public through pharmacies. The TV reports do not make that clear, but from what I can make out not all of the elements of a good screening programme were present, particularly quality control. I have seen no mention of arrangements for follow up, which would be difficult in the US health care system. It would be good if someone could examine the evidence at the conclusion of the trial and let us know how well Theranos performed as a component of health screening.
