Most recently it has also been demonstrated to be a better screening tool for women at high risk for developing breast cancer, including women with documented genetic predisposition.
A better screening tool for HAND may not be what is more urgently needed.

Given the increased risk of IFG with other cardiometabolic risk factors, a better screening tool for prediabetes risk may need to measure a range of risk factors and weigh each accordingly.
In support of this, the performance of CES-D improved upon exclusion of these 4 positive affect items suggesting that the 16 item CES-D is a better screening tool for depression than the 20 item CES-D, at least in Chinese subjects.
