The number of participant that contributed in this research were 826 participants consist of three expert, 100 participants in small scale test and 723 participants in large scale test. The result of expert’s judgment showed that self-screening instrument has content validity. The result of small-scale test showed that 19 questions were valid and in large-scale test, information was obtained in a short time about the condition of the participants, that 97.1% of the total participants who did not have problems.
