About these scores

These are validated screening instruments, not medical diagnoses. Results are intended to help identify symptoms that may warrant discussion with a qualified healthcare professional. A screening score alone does not establish a diagnosis. JOAN does not diagnose medical conditions and does not replace evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment by a licensed healthcare professional.
