Screening for mental health and addiction disorders is a priority due to the rising\u00a0prevalence of these conditions. This clinical practice guideline (CPG) sought to systematically synthesize evidence\u00a0to address screening for mental health and addiction disorders among children, adolescents, and adults.\nMethods. This CPG followed the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE)\u00a0approach to CPG development recommended by the Department of Health, including GRADE Adolopment, a\u00a0systematic process of adapting evidence summaries, and the GRADE Evidence to Decision (EtD) framework. The\u00a0Steering Committee set the objectives, scope, target, and audience. The Steering Committee also led the formulation\u00a0of clinical questions, and prioritized and finalized the questions after gathering inputs from relevant stakeholders.\u00a0The Technical Working Group reviewed and synthesized the evidence, and a multisectoral Consensus Panel reviewed\u00a0the evidence summaries and formulated recommendations through a formal consensus method, and the external\u00a0reviewers evaluated the final recommendations. This CPG was completed in June 2022.\nResults. The CPG provides ten (10) recommendations\u00a0on nine (9) prioritized questions on mental health and\u00a0addiction. Screening for depression among high-risk\u00a0groups, anxiety in adults, substance use disorders in\u00a0adults and adolescents, depression and anxiety among\u00a0children and adolescents, and stress and sleep disturbances\u00a0as risk factors for possible mental health or\u00a0addiction disorders were recommended. Recommendations\u00a0were made AGAINST screening for dementia in\u00a0older adults (60 and above) using standardized instruments\u00a0and substance use disorders using standardized\u00a0drug tests.\nConclusion. The CPG provided recommendations on\u00a0the prioritized clinical questions in the screening for\u00a0certain conditions on mental health and addiction. The\u00a0recommendations are based on the appraisal of the best\u00a0available evidence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.47895\/amp.v60i10.11314","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,3]],"date-time":"2026-06-03T06:58:52Z","timestamp":1780469932000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Philippine Clinical Practice Guidelines for Periodic Health Examination: Screening for Mental Health and Addiction"],"prefix":"10.47895","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Shelley Ann F.","family":"De la Vega, MD, MSc","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, University of the Philippines Manila"},{"name":"Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health, University of the Philippines Manila"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-0103-0578","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marc Evans M.","family":"Abat, MD","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Philippine General Hospital, University of the Philippines Manila"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1022-1862","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angely P.","family":"Garcia, RN, MPH","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health, University of the Philippines Manila"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Belen M.","family":"Dimatatac, MD","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Philippine Psychiatric Association"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jose Paciano Baltazar T.","family":"Reyes, MD","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Philippine Neurological Association"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edwin M.","family":"Fortuno, MD","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Philippine College of Geriatric Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"27557","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,30]]},"container-title":["Acta Medica Philippina"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/actamedicaphilippina.upm.edu.ph\/index.php\/acta\/article\/download\/11314\/7144","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/actamedicaphilippina.upm.edu.ph\/index.php\/acta\/article\/download\/11314\/7144","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,3]],"date-time":"2026-06-03T06:58:55Z","timestamp":1780469935000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/actamedicaphilippina.upm.edu.ph\/index.php\/acta\/article\/view\/11314"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,30]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"10","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,30]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.47895\/amp.v60i10.11314","relation":{},"ISSN":["2094-9278","0001-6071"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2094-9278","type":"electronic"},{"value":"0001-6071","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,30]]}}}
