Despite the high prevalence of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) in youth criminal justice settings, there is currently no research supporting the use of violence risk assessment tools in this population. This study examined the predictive validity of the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY) and the Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) in justice-involved youth with FASD. Participants were 100 justice-involved youth (ages 12-23; 81% male), including 50 diagnosed with FASD and 50 without FASD or prenatal alcohol exposure. The SAVRY and YLS/CMI were prospectively coded based on interview and file review, with recidivism (both any and violent specifically) coded 1-year post-baseline assessment. Results provide preliminary support for the validity of the SAVRY and YLS/CMI in predicting recidivism in justice-involved youth with FASD. Higher ratings across SAVRY and YLS/CMI domains were found in youth with FASD, underscoring a critical need for assessments and interventions to buffer recidivism risk and address clinical needs.

尽管胎儿酒精谱系障碍（FASD）在青年刑事司法环境中高发，但目前尚无研究支持在该人群中使用暴力风险评估工具。本研究考察了青少年暴力风险结构化评估量表（SAVRY）和青少年量刑/个案管理量表（YLS/CMI）在 FASD 涉案青少年中的预测效度。参与者为 100 名涉案青少年（年龄 12-23 岁；81%为男性），其中 50 名被诊断为 FASD，50 名无 FASD 或产前酒精暴露。SAVRY 和 YLS/CMI 根据访谈和档案审查进行前瞻性编码，以 1 年基线评估后的累犯（包括任何累犯和暴力累犯）为编码。结果初步支持 SAVRY 和 YLS/CMI 在预测 FASD 涉案青少年累犯方面的有效性。在 FASD 青少年中发现 SAVRY 和 YLS/CMI 各领域的评分较高，这突出表明需要进行评估和干预，以缓冲累犯风险并满足临床需求。（PsycINFO 数据库记录（c）2018 APA，保留所有权利）。
