the Brief Symptom Inventory, a short version of the SCL-90, is in wide use for screening adults. it takes 8-10 minutes to fill out. it is reasonably valid for adults. i don't know if there is a version for kids yet, but you could probably do a ten minute interview version using minimally trained technicians.
the technical part is the easy part. the only thing to stop this would be popular opposition.

Do you see that as a problem?

What do you propose to do with those citizens who do not want the government probing into their minds?

Does "privacy" have no meaning other than "the right to abort"?

Yes!

i would suggest no one fill these things out if they do the screening.
i was pointing out that this is not hard to do technically, because some people thought the gov was not capable of doing it.
it has to be stopped politically.
