Background Interpersonal firearm violence among youth is a substantial public health problem, and emergency department (ED) physicians require a clinical screening tool to identify high-risk youth. Objective To derive a clinically feasible risk index for firearm violence. Design 24-month prospective cohort study. Setting Urban, level 1 ED. Participants Substance-using youths, aged 14 to 24 years, seeking ED care for an assault-related injury and a proportionately sampled group of non–assault-injured youth enrolled from September 2009 through December 2011. Measurements Firearm violence (victimization/perpetration) and validated questionnaire items. Results A total of 599 youths were enrolled, and presence/absence of future firearm violence during follow-up could be ascertained in 483 (52.2% were positive). The sample was randomly split into training (75%) and post–score-construction validation (25%) sets. Using elastic-net penalized logistic regression, 118 baseline predictors were jointly analyzed; the most predictive variables fell predominantly into 4 domains: violence victimization, community exposure, peer influences, and fighting. By selection of 1 item from each domain, the 10-point SaFETy (Serious fighting, Friend weapon carrying, community Environment, and firearm Threats) score was derived. SaFETy was associated with firearm violence in the validation set (odds ratio [OR], 1.47 [95% CI, 1.23 to 1.79]); this association remained (OR, 1.44 [CI, 1.20 to 1.76]) after adjustment for reason for ED visit. In 5 risk strata observed in the training data, firearm violence rates in the validation set were 18.2% (2 of 11), 40.0% (18 of 45), 55.8% (24 of 43), 81.3% (13 of 16), and 100.0% (6 of 6), respectively. Limitations The study was conducted in a single ED and involved substance-using youths. SaFETy was not externally validated. Conclusion The SaFETy score is a 4-item score based on clinically feasible questionnaire items and is associated with firearm violence. Although broader validation is required, SaFETy shows potential to guide resource allocation for prevention of firearm violence. Primary Funding Source National Institute on Drug Abuse R01024646.

This report describes a study that integrates program evaluation with clinical practice. The subjects were 139 adolescent psychiatric inpatients who were tested with the Inventory of Suicide Orientation-30 (ISO-30) at admission and retested six days after admission. Aggregate analyses showed statistically significant changes in the direction of decreased suicidality on all ISO-30 indices. Further analyses compared the data with normative data from the ISO-30 manual, and also evaluated the relationships between ISO-30 scores and length of stay. Implications of the results and also methods of integrating outcome with clinical practice are discussed.

Mental health practitioners are increasingly being called on to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment they provide. The partial hospitalization component of the mental health industry also has felt this call for outcome research. This article presents the results of one program's attempts to answer that call through an assessment of treatment outcome and client satisfaction at a partial hospitalization program. Participants (N = 287) were evaluated at admission, discharge, and 3-month follow-up. The article outlines the procedures used for assessment and uses the results as an example of the type of data that can be obtained through outcomes measurement. The article is intended to provide an example of program evaluation that is easy and inexpensive to administer.
