MIASA is a comprehensive, evidence-based assessment platform designed for evaluating adolescent mental health, integrating perspectives from youth, parents, and teachers to provide a complete picture of teen functioning. Unlike instruments that are upward extensions of child measures or downward extensions of adult tests, MIASA was explicitly developed for adolescent-specific issues, including substance use, sexual behavior, trauma history, family dysfunction, and emerging mental health conditions.
Seamlessly combines perspectives from youth, parents, and up to 6 teachers. Automatically integrates 100+ test scores into clear, visual concept maps that make complex data instantly understandable.
Brief administration (under 25 minutes per survey) works on any device. Automated email/text invites increase participation rates. Simple web-based interface streamlines the entire assessment process.
Addresses modern adolescent challenges, including social media addiction, gaming addiction, gender issues, and current mental health trends.
Dedicated middle school and high school versions with school-specific domains. Rapid Teacher Questionnaire with fewer than 50 items. Covers school disengagement, attention issues, and academic underperformance.
Three-word passphrase system, local encryption of identifying information, and organization-specific security keys. Designed with student privacy as the top priority.
Weekly progress tracking with brief questionnaires (17-20 items). Real-time treatment monitoring allows for data-driven intervention adjustments.
Longitudinal Study: 300 parent/youth dyads completed the Progress Monitoring module weekly for one month, tracking changes in functioning over time.
