WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Risk factors Test

Risk Factors Assessment Test

This measure is designed to support structured screening of psychosocial and contextual variables associated with elevated risk for substance use in adolescents. The Risk Factors Assessment is intended to help identify areas of vulnerability that may warrant preventive intervention or further clinical evaluation. It is attributed to Thomas R. Achenbach.

The instrument consists of 55 items and typically requires about 11 minutes to complete. Item content is focused on the adolescent’s environment, behavior patterns, and perceptions, with the goal of informing case formulation and guiding targeted supports. The Risk Factors Assessment is commonly used in school or community settings as an adjunct to broader assessment rather than as a standalone diagnostic tool.
