Glenn,

Aren't you worried that such screening without appropriate follow-up might
be confusing or upsetting to participants?  I would wonder why I am being
asked a bunch of questions if nothing comes of it.  If I were to recommend
this idea to some program directors, what would be a safe response to the
question? 

Sincerely, Varshna.
