screening tool
Initial assessment instrument
A screening tool is a standardized method—typically a questionnaire, test, or checklist—used to identify individuals who may have a particular condition, risk factor, or need.
Medical professionals use screening tools to catch diseases early: The PHQ-9 is a common screening tool for depression.
Screening tools don't diagnose; they flag who should receive further evaluation.
