 Screen Test U.S.A
The FTC alleges that these claims are false and that Screen Test U.S.A. misrepresents its expertise at judging the suitability of children to become models or actors.
To add credibility to their activities, Screen Test U.S.A. claims it is endorsed by the American Child Actor and Modeling Association (ACAMA) - a so-called "leading independent, nonprofit consumer protection organization formed to protect consumers from unethical business practices" -- and encourages parents to contact ACAMA to check Screen Test U.S.A. out.
According to the FTC's complaint, once consumers call the telephone number listed in the ads, they are told that they will receive a "screen test" conducted by a professional "talent director" to determine whether their child has what it takes to become an actor or model and that only select children pass the screen test.

 What Is the Triple Screen Test?
For the screening, a sample of blood is drawn from the mother to measure three basic things: the levels of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) and estriol, which are produced by the placenta, and the level of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), which is produced by the fetus.
In determining the results of the test, doctors take into account the mother's age, weight, and ethnicity; if she is diabetic; if she is having twins or other multiples; and the gestational age of the fetus.
If you have any questions or concerns about triple screen testing, it might also be a good idea to discuss your feelings with your doctor or to seek the advice of a genetic counselor.
