36 Background: ASCO guidelines recommend cancer survivors be evaluated, treated, & reassessed for depression & anxiety along the trajectory of care. To meet these guidelines, UT Southwestern Moncrief Cancer Institute instituted an integrated approach to mental health screening, assessment, & navigation called MH-SCAN. (Andersen, BL, Rowland, JH, Somerfield, MR. Screening, assessment, and care of anxiety and depressive symptoms in adults with cancer: an American Society of Clinical Oncology guideline adaptation.J Onc Prac, 2015. 11(2): p. 133-134.) Methods: MH-SCAN uses the Vital Sign6 (VS6) program, a web-based application to screen & monitor psychiatric symptoms, and to give feedback regarding measurement-based care (MBC). Measures are repeated at 2-week intervals when possible for those who need treatment. Our implementation process, including training & workflows, will be reviewed. Results: Patients (N = 415) enrolled from 9/1/15 to 8/1/16 in our community-based Survivorship Program (see table) were screened using VS6, of which 119 reported symptoms indicating potential depression. Over 90% of that subset reported moderately severe symptoms and 87% endorsing comorbid symptoms of anxiety. Approximately 60% of the original sample completed reassessment within 4 weeks. Over half continued to endorse significant depressive symptoms, as well as suicidal ideation and comorbid anxiety. Conclusions: Implementing ASCO recommendations for mental health screening, assessment, and treatment adherence, while challenging, is feasible. Our preliminary data underscores its importance among survivors. The MH-SCAN protocol provides a useful approach to implementing screening guidelines efficiently and effectively, thus addressing mental health comorbidities within oncology and primary care.[Table: see text]

In an attempt to identify and intervene with students in need of services, the South Korean government has implemented national mental health screening. However, concerns raised about the unintended stigmatization of the screening assessment that focuses on student deficits prompts the need for additional research. This study evaluated the potential utility of an alternative screening approach that considers student strengths, in addition to symptoms of distress. Using a sample of 1,190 Korean adolescents enrolled in grades seven to nine, two latent profile analyses were conducted to identify underlying mental health strength and distress subtypes. Results identified five subtypes of psychological strengths and three subtypes of psychological distress. As hypothesized, students with higher levels of strengths and lower levels of distress reported better quality of life, academic performance, and higher life satisfaction. Implications for school based mental health screening and future directions for researchers and practitioners are discussed.
