ASSESSMENTS
WHY IS THIS ASSESSMENT REQUIRED
Before a clinician can assess for attention-related conditions, it is important to first screen for other factors that may affect concentration, mood, behaviour, or functioning.
Many conditions can produce symptoms that look similar to attention difficulties, including anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, stress-related conditions, substance effects/use disorders, and medical factors.
This structured screening questionnaire helps your clinician identify whether any of these factors may be contributing to your symptoms.
Completing this step ensures that your assessment pathway is safe, appropriate, and clinically thorough.
This screening does not assess for ADHD and does not provide a diagnosis.
It is an initial information-gathering step used to guide your clinician.

What Next
Once you have successfully completed your CogniBox screening and ADHD questionnaires,
Your responses will be securely processed and a structured report has been generated for your doctor.
This report summarises your answers and highlights clinically relevant information to support their review.
What your doctor will do
Your clinician will:
review your screening results
consider whether any factors need further clarification
determine whether additional assessment is appropriate
discuss findings with you at your appointment
This screening helps your doctor prepare in advance so your consultation
can focus on interpretation, discussion, and planning.
Important to know
This screening does not provide a diagnosis
Results are interpreted only by your clinician
Further assessment may or may not be required
Not all symptoms are caused by attention disorders
If your doctor needs more information
Occasionally, your clinician may:
request additional history
ask you to complete further questionnaires
obtain collateral information (with your consent)
arrange medical or psychological review
This is a routine part of careful clinical assessment.
If you feel concerned before your appointment
If your symptoms worsen or you feel distressed before seeing your doctor, please contact your
GP or local health service. If you feel unsafe, contact emergency services immediately (000 in Australia).
You do not need to do anything further right now.
Your clinician has received your results and will guide the next steps with you.
Thank you for taking the time to complete your screening.
