Ohio's Mental Health Check Up For Youth Program began with a pilot effort by four Mental Health &/or Alcohol & Drug Addiction Boards in school year 2003-2004. Local Mental Health Boards were offered mini grants to collaborate with local mental health agencies and schools to implement TeenScreen in their local communities.

Each year since the pilot additional Mental Health &/or Alcohol & Drug Addiction Boards have joined the effort to implement TeenScreen state wide.

As of July 2008, Ohio has 117 individual screening sites across the state.
