MULTI-INFORMANT ASSESSMENT FOR ADOLESCENTS
The MIASA is a comprehensive questionnaire designed to help counselors and psychologists understand the mental and emotional well-being of adolescents (ages 12–18).
Insights are collected from three key perspectives—the youth, their caregivers, and their teachers. By combining these perspectives, MIASA provides a clearer, fuller picture of teen functioning—giving the provider the most information possible to support them.
A Clinical-Grade Mental Health Assessment for Adolescents
What Sets the MIASA Apart
Adolescence is a period of rapid change, during which young people may face challenges that standard assessments often miss, such as substance use, gaming addiction, trauma, identity formation, family dynamics, and emerging mental health issues. These factors can profoundly affect well-being, yet existing evaluation methods often fail to capture them.
Recognizing a gap in existing tools, the MIASA was developed to address the needs of modern clinical practice. It is specifically designed to capture the full range of factors influencing adolescent mental health, providing a comprehensive and clinically relevant assessment for practitioners.
The MIASA is a psychometric assessment—meaning it is a standardized, scientifically developed test that has been rigorously researched, tested, and validated. Psychometric tools like the MIASA are validated through large-scale studies to ensure they accurately assess what they are designed to measure.
Unlike many informal assessments found online, these tests are created by experts, must meet strict professional and scientific standards, and must be administered and interpreted by a qualified provider.
