3
WWW.CTCDATA.ORG Survey Development Goals Self-report instrument appropriate for adolescents ranging from 11 to 18 years old Cost-effective measurement of a range of research-derived risk & protective factors and problem behaviors Provide data on the epidemiology of risk & protective factors among community youth
4
WWW.CTCDATA.ORG Survey Development Goals Help focus prevention interventions on geographic areas or subpopulations experiencing the highest levels of risk & lowest level of protection for later health & behavior problems Provide data to identify which risk & protective factors are elevated or depressed
5
WWW.CTCDATA.ORG Survey Development Goals Allow analysis of the co-occurrence and correlates of multiple risk and protective factors in different youth populations. Assess a broad set of risk & protective factors that have been identified by longitudinal research across domains Administered in a school setting in one class period (approx. 50 minutes)

WWW.CTCDATA.ORG Survey Instrument Measures Risk & Protective Factors Predictive of Substance Use Delinquency Problem Behaviors Gang Involvement Frequency of Substance Use Frequency of Antisocial Behaviors

WWW.CTCDATA.ORG Definitions Reliability – – does the score closely match the true score (lack of error)? – when given multiple times is the same score achieved? Validity- – does the survey measure what it claims to measure?
9
WWW.CTCDATA.ORG Publication Publication in Peer Reviewed Journal in December of 2002 Survey Development Reliability Validity
10
WWW.CTCDATA.ORG Findings Reliability across all scales is good Risk & Protective Factors are correlated with problem behaviors (validity) Is reliable across gender and age (later shown to be so across race & ethnicity) Variability among factor means across grade levels reflects the developmental difference in exposure to risk Scales tap meaningful components of risk & protection at both school and individual levels
