Ideally, the Cooper Screening Tool is administered individually, but parts of it can be administered to a group. However, the amount of information gained from group administration will be less than when completed individually.

The Cooper Screening Tool usually takes about 45 to 50 minutes to administer, but the time may vary depending on the individual and his or her comfort level with providing detailed responses. In response to many requests for a short form of the screening tool, Dr. Cooper has restructured it to provide a short form within the original Cooper Screening Tool. When you access the tool online, the short form is highlighted in red.
