The Mental Health Assessment Form was approved by OMB on September 16, 2023, as part of the Mental Health Asessment Form, Public Health Investigation Form: Active TB, and Public Health Investigation Form: Non-TB Illness Form information collection. The purpose of the Mental Health Assessment is to collect standardized health information on unaccompanied children during evaluations with mental health providers.
In November 2023, ORR hired a Reproductive Health specialist who reviewed the Mental Health Assessment Form and recommended changes to the reproductive health history section. ORR believes these changes will aid mental health providers in performing a thorough assessment and creating an informed healthcare plan.
ORR would like to:
• replace the field “if unknown, months since LMP" with 2 options, “Approximate” and “Exact” in the last menstrual period (LMP) field,
• rename the “Current contraceptive use” field to “Contraceptive use” and add a specify field with examples,
