Our work is designed primarily to provide the earliest supports to people in need.Īs part of this rapid analysis and dissemination of screening data, we are sharing some of our analyses of screening data with a focus on race and ethnicity. Our data provides us an opportunity to better understand and disseminate findings on unmet needs and gaps in care among specific populations, such as youth, Black, Indigenous and people of color, trauma survivors and LGBTQ+ individuals. In our screening program, we use voluntary demographic questions and additional surveys to learn more about people who are often not captured in traditional research. This allows MHA to engage in rapid analysis and dissemination of information – so we can recognize and react to trends in mental health quickly.
MHA Screening is not only the largest existing data set of help-seeking individuals for mental health conditions, but it collects data in real time – as people are actively taking screens. Part of the mission of the MHA online screening program is to further data-driven, upstream, population-level efforts to improve mental health. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mental Health America has witnessed unprecedented numbers of people who come to its website ( to take a voluntary, free, anonymous mental health screening.įrom January to December 2020, a total of over 2.6 million people completed a mental health screen.
