Description

Mandates for risk assessment protocols to be trauma-informed are now common across juvenile justice and school settings. However, there is little direction on how to best translate this mandate into evidence-based screening and assessment tools. This presentation will describe the theoretical model underpinning the Vulnerability, Impairment, and Promotive factors (VIP) Study, which seeks to offer an alternative to existing risk assessment approaches in vulnerable adolescents. Using teen dating violence (TDV) as our criterion, we show preliminary evidence on how using dynamic, latent vulnerabilities stemming from trauma-exposure may lead to accurate and more equitable assessments of risk for TDV compared to prevailing practices. Findings from the VIP Study will be discussed, as well as translational implications and aims for the upcoming follow-up study.

Joseph Cohen, PhD Related Seminars and Products


Joseph Cohen is a licensed clinical psychologist and Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign. Dr. Cohen’s research seeks to elucidate the pathways to distress and impairment within the context of interpersonal trauma, and how to translate these findings into trauma-informed and culturally sensitive risk assessments for at-risk youth.  


Learning Objectives

Upon the completion of this event, participants will be able to: 

    • Define teen dating violence and summarize its prevalence and impact on society.
    • Distinguish between trauma-focused and risk factor prevention paradigm (RFPP)-informed approaches for risk assessment.
    • Explain from a developmental trauma perspective what it means for a dynamic risk or strength to be trauma-informed.
    • Describe thresholds for how to define whether a screening measure is (a) clinically useful and (b) statistically fair.
