“…Most adolescent research on suicide risk assessment has been conducted in psychiatric settings, and the vast majority of studies on violence risk assessment have focused on justice settings. Similarly, thus far, studies on the assessment of risk of victimization have focused only on child welfare and protection settings (e.g., Baird & Wagner, 2000; Camasso & Jagannathan, 2000; Johnson, 2011; Price-Robertson & Bromfield, 2011). …”

The field of violence risk assessment has matured considerably, possibly advancing beyond its own adolescence. At this point in the field’s evolution, it is more important than ever for the development of any new device to be accompanied by a strong rationale and the capacity to provide a unique contribution. With this issue in mind, we first take stock of the field of adolescent risk assessment in order to describe the rapid progress that this field has made, as well as the gaps that led us to adapt the Short-Term Assessment of Risk and Treatability (START; Webster, Martin, Brink, Nicholls, & Desmarais, 2009) for use with adolescents. We view the Short-Term Assessment of Risk and Treatability: Adolescent Version (START:AV; Nicholls, Viljoen, Cruise, Desmarais, & Webster, 2010; Viljoen, Cruise, Nicholls, Desmarais, & Webster, in progress) as complementing other risk measures in four primary ways: 1) rather than focusing solely on violence risk, it examines broader adverse outcomes to which some adolescents are vulnerable (including self-harm, suicide, victimization, substance abuse, unauthorized leave, self-neglect, general offending); 2) it places a balanced emphasis on adolescents’ strengths; 3) it focuses on dynamic factors that are relevant to short-term assessment, risk management, and treatment planning; and 4) it is designed for both mental health and justice populations. We describe the developmentally-informed approach we took in the adaptation of the START for adolescents, and outline future steps for the continuing validation and refinement of the START:AV.

“…Several instruments have been developed for the early identification of families at risk for child maltreatment and their validity has been assessed; for example, the California Family Risk Assessment (CFRA) in the USA or the Instrument for Identification of Parents at Risk for Child Abuse and Neglect (IPARAN) in the Netherlands (20,21). While there are no such comprehensive national instruments in Japan, some obstetrics hospitals and health organizations evaluate perinatal risk using their own methods.…”

Background: Child maltreatment induces significant health problems, both during childhood and into adulthood. To prevent child maltreatment, it is important to detect perinatal risk factors for earlier intervention. The aim of this study was to evaluate the perinatal risk factors associated with child maltreatment during pregnancy. Methods: A case-control study was conducted to compare perinatal data from the Maternal and Child Health Handbook between the case and control groups. Cases were collected from children registered in two Child Guidance Centers in Japan. The control group consisted of 3.5-year-old children in a city in Osaka Prefecture whose mothers responded to questionnaires containing information from the Maternal and Child Health Handbook. The association between perinatal factors and child maltreatment was assessed using multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: The data of 70 cases and 345 controls were collected. The following were found to be perinatal factors related to child maltreatment: teenage pregnancy (

“…O instrumento orienta o profissional na estimativa do risco de negligência e outras formas de abuso, classificando as famílias como apresentando um risco baixo, moderado, elevado ou muito elevado, a partir da identificação de fatores de risco referidos na literatura e empiricamente sustentados. O CFRS apresenta duas escalas de dez itens, distintas, para estimativa do risco de negligência e de abuso e tem apresentado boa validade preditiva (Johnson, 2011;Johnson & Wagner, 2003). Para este estudo, foi feita uma tradução e adaptação do instrumento para a população portuguesa realizada pelos autores.…”

O Modelo de Avaliação e de Intervenção Familiar Integrada (MAIFI) incorpora um processo de avaliação que visa informar a tomada de decisão em situações de risco psicossocial ou de perigo para a criança, bem como a elaboração de projetos de apoio à família. Os Instrumentos de Síntese da Avaliação Compreensiva no MAIFI (ISACM) foram construídos para apoiar a organização e síntese desse processo de avaliação. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar as suas propriedades psicométricas no que diz respeito à validade de construto, validade concorrente e fidedignidade por avaliação da consistência interna das subescalas e acordo entre avaliadores. Os ISACM revelaram propriedades psicométricas bastante satisfatórias que permitem recomendar a sua utilização na organização e síntese de avaliações compreensivas.
