A dream come true for pharmaceutical companies

In Colorado (in link see 3rd section from the bottom) over 350 youths were suicide screened using TeenScreen's survey. They found that over 50% were at risk of suicide and 71% screened positive for psychiatric disorder(s) at a youth homeless shelter. That's not science! That's a dream come true for pharmaceutical company marketing types and bean counters.

TeenScreen is being VERY tight-lipped on the screening materials and the questions they ask. Parents need to know there is a Federal LAW, commonly referred to as PPRA, that says you have a RIGHT to see those questions BEFORE they bring this to your school! Parents EVERYWHERE need to make this request to TeenScreen!
