Disclaimer: This tool is intended for screening purposes only and does not replace a clinical diagnosis. Results should always be interpreted alongside the nurse’s professional judgment. Patients with emotional, psychological, or cognitive concerns should be referred for professional support. The color-coded results (green, yellow, light red) serve as guidance, not as final decisions. Avoid using identifiable patient details, refer to patients by code only.
A. How to read the results:
This report summarizes the results from the EDU-MENT Mental Health Screening Tool, which assesses several domains of mental health and well-being. Each domain receives a severity score, with higher scores showing greater concern. Answers marked “Not able to assess / Unwillingness to respond” are excluded from the calculation.
Interpretation:
• Green (0–33%) – Low concern: things look good in this area.• Yellow (34–66%) – Moderate concern: some points to monitor.
• Light red (67–100%) – High concern: may require closer observation or referral.
Note1: Light red does not imply a diagnosis or emergency; the tool only highlights potential risk factors.
Nurses should interpret results together with their clinical judgment and any additional patient observations.
Note2: If a domain shows high concern (light red), consider administering the relevant further assessment tool(s)
for a more detailed evaluation.
B. Summary
Domain A. Demographic characteristics:If the Demographic Characteristics domain has high scores, it suggests that the person may be at increased mental health risk due to factors such as income, gender identification, and residence in a remote area. While these characteristics may not be directly linked to mental health, they can contribute to social isolation, financial stress, or limited access to healthcare, all of which can have an impact on overall well-being.
Suggested Actions:
❖ Financial and social support: To address financial stress, refer patients to local social services,
financial counseling, or assistance programs to help alleviate financial strain. For those with gender
identity concerns, ensure access to affirming mental health care and connect them to LGBTQ+ support networks
or resources. For individuals in rural or remote areas, provide information about telehealth services or community
outreach programs to reduce isolation. Encourage participation in local or online community groups, social clubs, or
senior centers to help strengthen social support networks and combat social isolation. Regarding the social determinants
of health such as housing, education, and healthcare access refer the patient to relevant community-based organizations or
social workers for further support.
