About MindCheck Tools

What the site provides

MindCheck Tools makes established mental health and substance use screening instruments easier to access and understand. The site also includes educational self-reflection tools, calculators, worksheets, and coping-skill practice aids. Those categories are labeled separately because an original reflection tool is not the same as a validated clinical screener.

A result from this site is information for a conversation with a qualified healthcare professional. It is not a diagnosis, treatment recommendation, or emergency service.

Named clinical review

Maintained screening pages and score guides are reviewed by Jason Ramirez, CADC-II, a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor Level II (CADC-II) with 11 years of clinical experience in substance use counseling. The review covers source fidelity, scoring alignment, screening limitations, safety language, and appropriate next-step guidance.

The CADC-II credential is a substance use counseling certification. It is not presented as a physician, psychologist, psychiatrist, or independent mental health license. The reviewer profile links to the public credential registry and explains the scope of review.

Editorial and evidence standards

Validated screening pages trace their questions, scoring, and interpretation to primary publications or authoritative public health sources. Educational tools are identified as original or reflective and do not claim diagnostic validation. Material corrections reset the visible review date.

• Read the editorial methodology.
• Review the clinical evidence directory.
• See the clinical disclaimer.

Privacy and corrections

Screening answers are processed in the browser. Some worksheets offer an explicit local-save option; those entries remain in that browser profile. Health-related answers and scores are not sent to analytics or advertising services. Read the privacy policy for the complete data flow and consent details.

To report a factual, scoring, accessibility, or privacy issue, use the contact page.

For product and implementation teams

MindCheck Tools documents a proposed fixed-scope implementation readiness review for digital-health and behavioral-health software teams. It uses public or fictional staging evidence and does not accept patient records, assessment answers, scores, or diagnoses.
