" In our research and initial evaluation of the TeenScreen

questionnaire we find a very interesting omission: School children are

being questioned extensively about their use of street drugs but no

questions are being asked about the use of prescription drugs. Since

it has been determined that more than 8 million children are on

prescription drugs and since these drugs such as the S.S.R.I.

(Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) have recently been linked to

suicide and homicide, in our opinion, its omission is gravely telling

of who is behind these initiatives " .

(Comments in parentheses by NOW)

[Comments in brackets by ]

Our (NOW) questions:

1. Is there privacy protection?

2. What persons and agencies have access to these results?

3. Is the name of the child being tested on the test pages?

4. What are the instructions to the child in terms of privacy in

answering the questions particularly about recreational drug and

alcohol use?

5. How is this survey assessed and measured? By whom. By how

many agencies. What is the protocol?

6. What are the qualifications of the assessors? [Why does this

matter? Qualified or not, the recommendation will be brain-disabling

drugs]

7. Is there a computerized assessment tool?

8. How, by what means of measurement or diagnostic tool is the

subject categorized? What is the protocol?

9. Are there standard diagnostic labels associated with question/answers

10. Who is apprised first of the diagnosis? What is the protocol thereafter?

11. Is there a recommendation to seek clinical evaluation? By whom to

whom and towards whom?

12. Do (or will) agencies or schools or govt. health or education

programs provide funds to guide or insure that children move towards

standard accepted medical care? [They should hope not. This would

result in even more children being drugged]

Diagnostic Predictive Scales DPS-8 (Youth)

This interview (survey) is designed to be used by qualified

professional (list the range of qualified professionals) as an aid to

diagnosis. It is not a substitute for a thorough clinical evaluation.

(Will you be asked or required to send your child to an approved

American Medical Association (AMA) or American Psychiatric Association

(APA) health professional with the likelihood of prescribing drugs?)

8. Do you wear glasses?

9. Have you seen an eye doctor about this?

10. In the last three months..did you have a toothache?

11. Have you seen a dentist about this? (Are these questions (6 -10)

a covert assessment of parent's fitness in supervising and caring for

their children? Can this survey be used against parents by agencies

such as the Human Health Service (HHS)?)

SECTION A

12. In the last three months..have you often felt very nervous and

uncomfortable when you have been with a group of children.say, in the

lunchroom at school or at a party? (Normal adolescent behavior)

13. Have you often felt very nervous when you had to do things in

front of people? (Normal)

SECTION B

14. For this question, I want to know if you have ever had a sudden

attack of feeling very afraid. In the kind of attack, I mean someone

becomes very afraid even though there is nothing around them to

frighten them. Sometimes they feel they can't breathe.sometimes their

heart beats very fast. The attacks come on very suddenly, then go

away, but they get afraid that the attacks might come back. In the

last three months have you had an attack when all of a sudden you felt

you were very afraid or strange?

15. Have you had a time when you were suddenly feeling like you were

suffocating or you couldn't breathe?

16. Do you have asthma?

17. The only time you felt afraid or couldn't breathe was when you

were having an asthma attack?

SECTION C

18. In the last three months..Have often worried a lot before you were

going to play a sport or game or some other activity Have you had a

lot of headaches? (Normal)

19. In the last three months have you had other aches and pains?

(Sports, flu, fibromyalgia, normal growing pains?)

20. Are you the kind of person who is often very tense, or finds it

very hard to relax? (In today's dysfunction family settings?)

SECTION D

21. Some young people have times when one thought comes into the mind

over and over again. When people have these thoughts they usually get

upset, because the thoughts are strange. No matter how hard they try

the thoughts keep on coming back.

Now I am going to ask you if you have had thoughts like these in the

last three months. Have you had to count things over and over again?

Or make yourself do things a certain number of times?[omega-3 fatty

acid deficiency]

22. In the last three months.was there a time when you washed your

hands or body over and over again or changed your clothes many times

each day because you thought they were dirty? [omega-3 fatty acid

deficiency]

23. Have you often felt you should check on things over and over

again? For example: checking that the front door is locked.or the

stove is turned off or that something else was done, though you knew

it had been done? (normal behavior as a stand alone question) [omega-3

fatty acid deficiency]

24. In the last three months..have you often worried that things you

touch are dirty or have germs? (Normal to say yes. Media of fear; TV

advertising is replete on antiseptic cleanliness products;

antiseptizing the kitchen for e-coli bacteria; the bathroom, killing

all bugs. We have vaccines for everything, flu, hepatitis,

meningitis, HIV) [omega-3 fatty acid deficiency]

25. Have you had any other thoughts that kept coming into your mind

over and over again that you couldn't get rid of? [omega-3 fatty acid

deficiency]

26. In the last three months.

Have you done things like counting, checking, washing, over and over

again because you like to do these things?

27. Have you done these things like counting, checking, washing, over

and over again, only because you've been told by someone else to make

sure that you've done them right?

28. In the last three months.

Have you wished you could stop yourself doing things like counting,

checking or washing over and over again?

29. Have you spent a lot of time each day doing things like counting,

checking or washing over and over again.say, for as long as an hour?

[Yes answers to 26 thru 29 also indicate an omeg-3 fatty acid deficiency]

SECTION E

30. In the last three months.

Has there been a time when nothing was fun for you and you just

weren't interested in anything? (normal these days as contrast to

TV-movie-video hyper stimulation) [Completely normal teen-aged

complaint]

31. Has there been a time when you had less energy than you usually

do? (I feel this way) [Of course! Who hasn't? Beyond this, poor

dietary habits will do this to a person]]

32. Has there been a time when you felt you couldn't do anything well

or that you weren't as good-looking or as smart as other people?

(normal adolescence) [This is such a scam. MOST teenagers feel this

way]

33. In the last three months.

Has there been a time when you thought seriously about killing

yourself? (I did when I was a teenager.thinking my parents would feel

sorry, then.oh yes) [i don't care how many times it is said that it is

not normal to have these thoughts a few times in one's lifetime, I am

hardpressed to find people who haven't]

34. Have you tried to kill yourself in the last year? (Ask me when I

was 14 years old, my parents worked and my father cheated on my

mother) [There is no differentiation here between an attempt and a

gesture. A suicidal gesture is an act that is not serious enough to

result in death. This is what most teens do. An attempt is an act

that is serious enough to result in death]

35. Has there been a time when doing even the little things made you

feel really tired? (most of the time) [it is normal human experience

to be depressed sometimes. This is the way your spirit communicates

with you to let you know that you need to make somwe changes. In

other cases, depression is normal in the context of a difficult life

event. How a child handles this indicates how well s/he was taught

from home how to habndle it. If the parents have poor emotional coping

tools, so will the children. This could also be a function of a poor

diet. How many teens do you know with a decent diet?]

36. In the last three months.

Has there been a time when you couldn't thank as clearly or as fast

as usual? (one time.would get an affirmative answer.many kids smoke

marijuana, party, even occasionally .or go to bed late) [Drugs,

alcohol, lack of sleep, poor diet, or being ill will do this]

I have just asked you about the last three months. Now, I want you to

think about the last year.

37. The next questions are about you use of alcohol-beer, wine, wine

coolers, or hard liquors like vodka, gin or whiskey. Each can or
