Abstract

Previous work has reported the psychometric properties and evidence for concurrent validity of a battery of items measuring global risk indicators in the lives of court-involved adolescents. The present study reports additional data on the predictive validity of this battery in a sample of 224 families of adolescents who were assessed by intake workers in a juvenile court and subsequently referred for services. Analysis yielded significant differences between groups of youth who were and were not referred to more intensive mental health-based treatment on all domains of risk in this battery.
