The My Mood Monitor Screen (aka M3 Checklist) is a quick, validated, self-rated, multi-dimensional mental health symptom checklist that screens for and monitors changes in potential mood and anxiety symptoms.

The 27-item instrument assesses an individual's risk of having

NCQA[2] as a pre-validated mental health tool for its Patient Centered Medical Home Recognition Program.[3]

The questionnaire can be filled in online or by smartphone using an app called WhatsMyM3 on iTunes[4] or Android.[5] It calculates the user's M3 Score and, if desired, the results can then be sent to a health professional.[6][7] The consumer version of My Mood Monitor is called "WhatsMyM3," and the professional version is called "M3 Clinician".[8]

Validation and psychometrics

Effectiveness of the M3 Checklist has been validated against the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI), a standard diagnostic tool, by Gaynes et al. at the University of North Carolina.[9]
