Accuracy of the Violence Proneness Scale (VPS) of the Drug Use Screening Inventory (DUSI-R) was evaluated in 328 boys for predicting use of illegal drugs, DUI, selling drugs, sexually transmitted disease, car accident while under acute effects of drugs/alcohol, trading drugs for sex, injuries from a fight, and traumatic head injury. Boys were prospectively tracked from age 16 to 19 at which time these outcomes were documented in the interim period. The results demonstrated that the VPS score is a significant predictor of all outcomes. Prediction accuracy ranged between 62%-83%. These findings suggest that the VPS may be useful for identifying youths who are at high risk for using illicit drugs and commonly associated adverse outcomes.
在328名男孩中评估了药物使用筛查量表（DUSI-R）的暴力倾向量表（VPS）在预测非法药物使用、酒后驾车、贩卖毒品、性传播疾病、在药物/酒精急性作用下发生车祸、以性交易毒品、打架受伤和创伤性脑损伤方面的准确性。对男孩从16岁到19岁进行前瞻性跟踪，在此期间记录这些结果。结果表明，VPS分数是所有结果的重要预测指标。预测准确率在62%-83%之间。这些发现表明，VPS可能有助于识别有使用非法药物及常见相关不良后果高风险的青少年。
