Enhanced Anxiety Diagnosis and Screening Through Systematic Screening System

In mental health, GAD is one of the mental health conditions that is poorly diagnosed. This project provided an analysis on whether consistent GAD-7 screening and structured follow-up for all patients with GAD 7 score of 10 and above on screening tools will improve outcomes of about 90% compared to the collected patient's data before and after implementation of screening tools within a period of three months. The method used in this project was The Iowa Model which is a comparative quantitative design. Data was collected from baseline patients three months before implementation of the screening tool and three months after; a comparison was done after successful structured follow-up. The follow-up entailed clinical review, referrals to counselors and monitoring progress.
