“…After the CAPA interview, the child and parent completed reports on use of mental health services with the Child and Adolescent Services Assessment. 28, 29 For this analysis, we included receipt of specialty mental health (psychiatric hospital, general hospital psychiatry unit, residential treatment facility, community outpatient mental health center, private professional, outpatient drug and alcohol treatment) services and school-based services (counselor/social worker, special classes for emotional or behavioral problems, vocational support).…”

Objective The goal of this study is to examine the developmental epidemiology of normative irritability and its tonic and phasic components in a longitudinal community sample of youth. Method Eight waves of data from the prospective, community Great Smoky Mountains Study (6,674 assessment of 1,420 participants) were used, covering children in the community aged 9–16 years old. Youth and one parent were interviewed using the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Assessment to assess tonic (touchy/easily annoyed, irritable mood, angry or resentful) and phasic (temper tantrums or anger outbursts) components of irritability, including frequency, duration, onset, and cross-context variability. Results At any given point in childhood/adolescence, 51.4% (standard error [SE]=1.4) of participants reported phasic irritability, 28.3% (SE=1.2) reported tonic irritability, and 22.8% (SE=1.1) reported both. These prevalence levels decreased with age but did not vary by sex. The overlap between tonic and phasic irritability was high (OR=5.8, 95% CI, 3.3–10.5, p <.0001), with little evidence of tonic occurring without phasic irritability. Both tonic and phasic irritability predicted one another over time, supporting both heterotypic and homotypic continuity. Low levels of either tonic or phasic irritability increased risk for disrupted functioning including service use, school suspensions, parental burden, and emotional symptoms both concurrently and at one-year follow-up. Conclusion Irritability is relatively common, decreases with age but does not vary by sex, and at almost any level is associated with increased risk of disrupted functioning. Its relative components frequently overlap, although irritable outbursts are more common than irritable mood. Irritability appears to be a high-priority transdiagnostic marker for screening children in need of clinical attention.

“…66 Because many children receive ADHD treatment, with infrequent visits, in the primary care sector, the CASA was adapted to assess services used in the past 12 months, similar to the time frame successfully used in the Services Assessment for Children and Adolescents and the National Health Interview Survey. 67,68 …”

“…Treatment services were examined using a modified version of the Child and Adolescent Services Inventory (CASA; Burns, Angold, Magruder-Habib, Costello, & Patrick, 1992;Mulvey, Schubert, & Chung, 2007). Youth were asked about various services (e.g., individual therapy), including the number of times they had received that particular service in the past 3 months.…”

Although many adolescent risk assessment tools include an emphasis on dynamic factors, little research has examined the extent to which these tools are capable of measuring change. In this article, we outline a framework to evaluate a tool’s capacity to measure change. This framework includes the following: (a) measurement error and reliable change, and (b) sensitivity (i.e., internal, external, and relative sensitivity). We then used this framework to evaluate the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY) and Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI). Research assistants conducted 509 risk assessments with 146 adolescents on probation (101 male, 45 female), who were assessed every 3 months over a 1-year period. Internal sensitivity (i.e., change over time) was partially supported in that a modest proportion of youth showed reliable changes over the 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-ups. External sensitivity (i.e., the association between change scores and reoffending) was also partially supported. In particular, 22% of the associations between change scores and any and violent reoffending were significant at a 6-month follow-up. However, only 1 change score (i.e., peer associations) remained significant after the Bonferroni correction was applied. Finally, relative sensitivity was not supported, as the SAVRY and YLS/CMI was not more dynamic than the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL:YV). Specifically, the 1-year rank-order stability coefficients for the SAVRY, YLS/CMI, and PCL:YV Total Scores were .78, .75, and .76, respectively. Although the SAVRY and YLS/CMI hold promise, further efforts may help to enhance sensitivity to short-term changes in risk.
