"Risked Based Screening" as a sentence makes absolutely no sense what so ever. "Risked" is a verb, the past tense of the verb "to risk". The appropriate sentence would be "Risk-based screening" in which "risk" is serving as a noun and the sentence is referring to screening based upon risk (or risks). "Risk," in this case, is the reason for the screening, and a noun, not a verb. Regardless, even if it were a verb, it would not be the past tense, seeing as we are talking about current risks.

But don't worry, these are only things every ninth grader should know...
