Advances in measurement of global risk indicators in lives of court-involved youth: brief evidence for concurrent validity.
The present study reports data on the concurrent validity for the Global Risk Assessment Device, a measure of global risk indicators for a sample of 37 families of adolescents who participated in a family-based program designed to divert youth out of the justice system. Significant correlations among three domains of risk (family/parenting, substance use, and personality/behavior problems) and other measures generated preliminary evidence for concurrent validity of this global risk measure.
