Screened modified gravity models evade solar system tests of relativistic gravitation but exhibit novel and interesting effects on scales between the solar system and the Hubble flow: astrophysical scales. In this paper, we review how astrophysical tests using stars, galaxies, and clusters can be used to constrain these theories. We classify screening into three categories: thin-shell (chameleon, symmetron, and dilaton models), Vainshtein screening (e.g. Galileons and Horndeski), and Vainshtein breaking (e.g. beyond Horndeski and DHOST) and discuss the optimal strategy for probing each. In many cases, this is driven by whether a specific category violates the equivalence principles (strong or weak). We summarize the general model-independent bounds on each screening category that have been derived in the literature.
