Your responses are scored automatically when you submit. A score is not a diagnosis and is always reviewed by a clinician.

Submitting sends your answers directly to K. Johns Medical over an encrypted connection and creates a PDF for your clinician. It does not book an appointment and is not monitored in real time. For an urgent concern, call the office. In an emergency, call 911 or call or text 988.
