Clinician brief follow up interview reduce false positives by 90% and takes only two to three minutes |

Clicking the "Go button" takes the doctor to a screen where the specific follow-up question corresponding to positive (or deviant) items endorsed by their patient's parent is found. The parent's responses elicited by the doctor lead to questions that follow the validated algorithm. Just two or three sets of questions usually will either confirm or refute the initial MCHAT screening result. In 90% of cases (Kleinman,et al, 2007) the parent can then be reassured and a false positive referral avoided. Some example screens of F/U questions are depicted below (click on each icon for a larger view):
