Abstract
Youths with serious behavior problems usually have a complex array of difficulties. The CARV (Child & Adolescent Risk for Violence) allows youth workers to compare a particular child or teen with a sample of youths who are at low, medium, or high risk for behavioral acting-out or assaultive behavior. The CARV is divided into five risk sections: Behavior Problems, Mental Health/Substance Abuse, Peer Issues, Educational Problems, and Family Characteristics. There is a section for resiliency factors, as well. The pattern of answers on the CARV allows a worker to develop an intervention plan. Youths' scores can be compared with those of youths in secure placements or receiving treatment in their communities.
