However, there appeared to be considerable similarity in the risk factors across each diagnostic group. A total of 125 dynamic factors were examined in 16 domains. Variables enhancing Vulnerability of Children and Teenagers. A criminal attitude and resumption of drug misuse, particularly cocaine and ecstasy use, and becoming dependent on drugs again following release were important among those who had been diagnosed as drug dependent prior to imprisonment. Immediate intervention may be necessary in such cases. Drug dependence was identified in 291 cases.

In practice, understanding change in dynamic risk factors is important for assessing the effectiveness of intervention programmes and pinpointing specific individual causal mechanisms.424 From a methodological standpoint, however, dynamic risk factors are difficult to measure because of their changeability.402 It is thought that static risk factors may be helpful for longer-term predictions, whereas dynamic risk factors may be helpful for short-term predictions.401 Dynamic factors also show promise in modifying and managing risk and therefore prospectively measuring dynamic risk factors during a short time period is preferable.

Children who witness family violence are at risk for both short and long-term harm. relationships. TDV affects millions of U.S. teens each year.

We have previously shown that delusions are causally associated with violence in other samples and that this is mediated through anger resulting from the delusions.21.291. The pattern of risk factors for the depressive disorder group appeared generally to be similar to the pattern for other diagnostic categories.
