The **My Mood Monitor Screen** (aka **M3 Checklist**) is a quick, validated, self-rated, multi-dimensional mental health symptom checklist that screens for and monitors changes in potential mood and anxiety symptoms.

The 27-item instrument assesses an individual's risk of having [depression](/source/Major_depressive_disorder), [anxiety disorder](/source/Anxiety_disorder), [posttraumatic stress disorder](/source/Posttraumatic_stress_disorder), and [bipolar disorder](/source/Bipolar_disorder), as well as items for drug and alcohol use and functional impairment. It was developed by a group of doctors[1] and is recognized by [NCQA](/source/NCQA)[2] as a pre-validated mental health tool for its [Patient Centered Medical Home](/source/Medical_home) Recognition Program.[3]

The questionnaire can be filled in online or by smartphone using an app called WhatsMyM3 on iTunes[4] or Android.[5] It calculates the user's M3 Score and, if desired, the results can then be sent to a health professional.[6][7] The consumer version of My Mood Monitor is called "WhatsMyM3," and the professional version is called "M3 Clinician".[8]

## Validation and psychometrics

Effectiveness of the M3 Checklist has been validated against the [Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI)](/source/Mini-international_neuropsychiatric_interview), a standard diagnostic tool, by Gaynes et al. at the [University of North Carolina](/source/University_of_North_Carolina).[9]
