Juvenile Tests Alphabetically Listed

Adolescent Chemical Dependency Inventory (ACDI): The Adolescent Chemical Dependency Inventory (ACDI) is a short (105 items, 15 minutes) yet comprehensive self-report test. The ACDI screens substance (alcohol and other drugs) use and abuse, measures overall adjustment and assesses troubled youth concerns. The ACDI contains five (5) scales (measures): 1. Truthfulness Scale, 2. Adjustment Scale, 3. Distress Scale, 4. Alcohol Scale and 5. Drugs Scale. Specific scale score - related counseling and treatment recommendations are provided. ACDI reports are presented on the ACDI's webpage in BDS's website www.adolescent-chemical-dependency-inventory.com or www.online-testing.com. When concerned about a juvenile’s substance abuse involvement, we recommend the ACDI.

When evaluating juvenile domestic violence offenders, you need a comprehensive and all-inclusive test. wwww.domestic-violence-inventory-juvenile.com

Domestic Violence Inventory Pre-Post (DVI Pre-Post): The DVI Pre-Post measures domestic violence offender counseling-treatment effectiveness or outcome. The same test is administered at intake (pretest) and again at program completion (posttest). The pretest serves as a baseline. The computer compares pretest and posttest scores and generates a comparison report. The DVI Pre-Post consists of 147 items and takes 30 minutes to complete. The DVI Pre-Post has (6) scales (measures): 1. Truthfulness Scale, 2. Violence (Lethality) Scale, 3. Control Scale, 4. Alcohol Scale, 5. Drugs Scale and 6. Stress Coping Abilities Scale. To accurately measure attitude and behavioral change, historical (court and treatment) items are minimized. If you want to know if domestic violence treatment was effective, we recommend you consider the DVI Pre-Post. For more information visit www.dvi-pre-post.com. Upon treatment completion everybody asks the same question: “Was treatment effective?” The DVI Pre-Post helps answer that question.

Juvenile Pre-Disposition Evaluation (JPE): The Juvenile Pre-Disposition Evaluation (JPE) is designed specifically for juvenile (male and female) pre-disposition evaluation. The JPE is much more than just another substance (alcohol and other drugs) test. Its scales (measures) when combined, form an informative juvenile portfolio. The Juvenile Pre-Disposition Evaluation (JPE) consists of 159 items and takes 30 to 35 minutes to complete. The JPE has nine (9) scales (measures): 1. Truthfulness Scale, 2. Alcohol Scale, 3.

The Pre-Post Inventory-Juvenile is recommended when referral sources, treatment staff and other interested parties want to know “if treatment was effective.”

Suicide Risk Assessment (SRA): Suicide Risk Assessment (SRA) a 142-item self-report Suicide Risk Assessment (SRA). Its website www.suicide-risk-assessment.com introduces the SRA which takes 25 minutes to complete. From data (answers) computer entry, it takes 3 minutes to score and print 4-page SRA reports. The SRA was strongly influenced by M. David Rudd's suicide theory and its peer reviewed research. David Lang (2013) emphasized clinicians should use a suicide screening tool with patients manifesting co-existing disorders like anxiety, depression, or substance (alcohol/drug) abuse. More information is presented on the Suicide Risk Assessment (SRA) website (cited above), along with an example SRA report. We encourage people interested in suicide risk assessment to review the SRA example report.
