Screening Questionnaires

Yes/No screening questions and validated self-report tools that can help elicit disclosure.

Screening Questions

The following Yes/No questions cover a range of symptoms and are written at a fifth grade reading level. If any are endorsed, ask open-ended follow-up questions to determine if this is a psychotic-like experience.

  • Have you started to wonder if your mind was trying to trick you or was not working right?
  • Have you felt confused whether an experience was real or imaginary?
  • Have you felt that some person, force, or creature was around you, even though you couldn't see anyone?
  • Have your thoughts been so strong that you felt like you heard them or worried other people could hear them?
  • Have you seen objects, people, or animals that no one else could see?
  • Have you heard voices or sounds that no one else could hear?
  • Have you thought that the world may not be real or that you may not be real?
  • Have you thought that people were following or spying on you?

Screening Tools

A number of self-report screening tools can help identify psychotic-like experiences. None of the available screens have established thresholds for screening in general medical settings, especially for children and adolescents. However, they can help elicit the initial disclosure of experiences.
