About This Assessment
Questionnaire on the Severity of Adolescent Crisis Symptoms Test

Adolescent Crisis Symptom Severity Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

family
life crisis

This questionnaire is designed to support structured screening of crisis-related symptoms and behavioral responses in adolescents. The Adolescent Crisis Symptom Severity Questionnaire provides a brief, standardized way to summarize the severity and pattern of self-reported difficulties that may arise during developmental transitions.

It consists of 44 items and typically requires about 9 minutes to complete. Item content focuses on common domains of adolescent crisis reactions and can be used to inform clinical interviewing, school-based consultation, and decisions about monitoring or referral. The Adolescent Crisis Symptom Severity Questionnaire was developed by Michael Rutter and is intended to complement, not replace, comprehensive assessment and diagnostic evaluation.
