Pre-Visit Psychiatric Evaluation Intake Questionnaire
A pre-appointment intake for mental health clinics that captures a patient's presenting concern, symptom frequency across common domains, functional impact, safety status, and treatment history before a first psychiatric visit. An AI follow-up interview reconstructs concrete recent examples behind the ratings and checks in sensitively on any safety responses. Not a substitute for crisis assessment.

Q10
AI Interview
Explore the respondent's main presenting concern in depth: when it started, what triggered or worsened it, and what has changed in the last two weeks. If they indicated any thoughts of self-harm as occurring more than 'not at all', gently ask how they are keeping safe right now and clearly note that if they are in immediate danger they should contact emergency services or a crisis line rather than continue. Anchor follow-up on one or two concrete recent examples (a specific day, interaction, or event) rather than general feelings, and note any gap between how they described the problem in their own words and how they rated its severity.

What’s included
AI follow-ups
Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.
Attention checks
Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.
AI-drafted copy
Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.
Auto report
Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.
How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Captures presenting concern, symptom frequency across common domains, functional impact, safety status, and treatment history in one structured pre-visit flow
- Includes an AI follow-up interview that reconstructs concrete recent examples behind ratings and checks in sensitively on any safety-related responses, rather than leaving flagged answers unexplored
- Uses transparent prompts and automated per-response quality scoring so clinicians receive a fuller, more consistent picture before the first visit
- Closes with a clear message explaining that responses will be reviewed by the provider before the appointment, setting appropriate expectations for a clinical (not crisis) context
Jotform
Psychiatric Evaluation Form TemplateA static, fielding-ready form template covering standard psychiatric evaluation fields that clinics can customize with Jotform's form builder. It's a fixed questionnaire rather than an interview, so all follow-up and clarification has to be done manually by staff. Good for quick deployment but offers no built-in mechanism to probe deeper on any given answer.
What it does well
- Ready-to-use template that can be deployed quickly without building from scratch
- Customizable form fields and layout via Jotform's drag-and-drop builder
- Likely integrates with Jotform's broader form ecosystem (e-signatures, conditional logic, notifications)
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up interview to reconstruct concrete examples behind answers
- No voice AI interview option
- No automated per-response quality scoring or auto-generated clinical-ready reports
Typeform
Psychiatric Evaluation Form TemplateA conversational-style static form template for psychiatric evaluation intake, built on Typeform's one-question-at-a-time interface. It offers a smoother respondent experience than a traditional form but still relies on fixed questions with no dynamic probing of responses. Safety-related answers would need manual clinical review with no automated sensitive check-in built in.
What it does well
- Polished, respondent-friendly conversational UI that may improve completion rates
- Easy to customize question wording and branding within Typeform
- Supports basic logic branching between questions
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up interview or voice AI interview to explore concerns in depth
- No automated sensitive check-in on safety-related responses
- No automated per-response quality scoring or auto-generated reports for clinicians
