Student Sociocultural Safety Index Test

security

This brief self-report measure is designed to support screening of perceived sociocultural safety and related risk factors in school settings. The Student Sociocultural Safety Index can be used to identify areas where a student may experience vulnerability to negative influences within the educational environment.

The instrument consists of 35 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. Items assess students’ perceptions of safety, social pressure, and other contextual stressors that may inform preventive planning and targeted supports. As with any screening tool, results from the Student Sociocultural Safety Index should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical judgment and collateral information; authorship is attributed to Urie Bronfenbrenner.
