Abstract: The present invention relates to an adaptive multi-instrument assessment system for age specific pediatric mental health screening comprising integrated four- instrument battery (SDQ, CBCL, SCARED, M-CHAT-R/F) with intelligent selection algorithms and comprehensive scoring frameworks. The system implements age- stratified protocols for pediatric developmental stages with automated instrument selection based on age-specific criteria and symptom-triggered additional assessments. Multi-informant coordination supports parent, teacher and self-report perspectives with staggered completion scheduling, concordance analysis and discrepancy resolution protocols. Integrated scoring framework provides cross-instrument normalization, composite mental health indices and domainspecific scores across emotional, behavioural, social and developmental dimensions. Comprehensive quality assurance mechanisms include completion time validation, response pattern analysis and automated quality flags for clinical review. The system enables comprehensive pediatric mental health screening while optimizing assessment efficiency and clinical utility through intelligent adaptation to child age, presenting symptoms and clinical context.
