Assess Whether Your Adolescent Clients Are At Risk of Violence
The SAVRY is composed of 24 items in three risk domains (Historical Risk Factors, Social/Contextual Risk Factors, and Individual/Clinical Factors), drawn from existing research and the professional literature on adolescent development as well as on violence and aggression in youth.
Features and benefits
- Based on the structured professional judgment (SPJ) model, the SAVRY helps you structure an assessment so that important factors will be emphasized when you formulate a final professional judgment about a youth’s level of risk.
- Addresses the primary domains of known risk and protective factors and provides clear operational definitions. Risk and protective factors are based on their relationship to adolescents—not to children or adults.
- Not designed to be a formal test or scale, there are no assigned numerical values or specified cutoff scores.
- Both reactive and proactive aggression—aggression subtypes that are extensively theoretically supported—are emphasized.
- Items have direct implications for treatment, including the consideration of dynamic factors that can be useful targets for intervention in risk reduction.
