Background: Due to the great importance of mental health students screening and lack of an appropriate native tool that was prepared based on prevalent psychopathological problems in students, making appropriate tool seems necessary. Aims: the aim of the present paper was to develop and examine the psychometric properties of electronic mental health assessment device for high school students-first high school students form and second high school students form. On the other hand, due to the advantages of self-report form in adolescence, such as that adolescents emphasize on self-knowledge, the acceleration in reports and the lack of observation of certain symptoms by teachers and parents, the self-report version was used in this study. Method: The sample includes 1592first high school students and 919 second high school students of high school students of Alborz, Kermanshah, Eastern Azerbaijan, Sistan & Baluchistan, Fars, and Khorasan- Razavi that were selected by random sampling. First high school self-report form and second high school self-report form consists of 144 and 122 items respectively. Results: Exploratory factor analysis for both versions of the scale showed a 6-component structure as the best model fitting to the theoretical basis of the research. Also the internal consistency coefficients of the subscales showed the reliability of the scale. Conclusions: In general, psychometric properties of both two scales indicated that they are suitable for screening and research.
