SAPROF - Structured Assessment of Protective Factors for violence risk-SAPROF Youth VersionSAPROF Youth Versionhttp://saprof.com/content/2014/09/SAPROF-Youth-Version<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The SAPROF - Youth Version (SAPROF-YV) was developed in 2014 as an altogether new tool specifically intended to offer a positive addition to juvenile and young adult violence risk assessment in forensic youth psychiatry (age 12-23). It contains 16 dynamic protective factors for juvenile / young adult violence risk.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The tool was originally developed in Dutch (first published November 2014), and shortly thereafter translated into English, Spanish, German and French.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The SAPROF-YV can be used to complement (predominantly) risk-focused assessment tools, such as the SAVRY, YLS/CMI or JSOAP, in order to create a more comprehensive and balanced risk assessment of future violent and/or sexually violent behavior for juveniles and young adults in forensic psychiatry. The SAPROF-YV may also prove useful for the assessment of protective factors in other settings (general psychiatry, probation services, detention, addiction care, education etc).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Please see the <a href="/_files/SAPROF - Youth Version. English flyer New.pdf">SAPROF-YV flyer</a> for more information and an overview of the protective factors included in the tool.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The SAPROF-YV is now available in Dutch, English, Spanish, German and French!

Currently, translations into Italian, Finnish and Japanese are in preparation.<br /></span></p>
