The present study examined the psychometric properties of the Dynamic Risk Outcome Scales (DROS), an instrument developed to measure dynamic risk factors in individuals with mild intellectual disabilities or borderline intellectual functioning (MID-BIF) and externalizing (including offending-like) behaviour problems.
The sample consisted of 606 clients (86% male) from inpatient treatment wards at a facility for individuals with MID-BIF and externalizing behaviour problems.
The DROS showed an acceptable factor structure, good internal consistency, significant test-retest reliability and fair to excellent inter-rater reliabilities for most subscales and total score. Compared to the Adult Behavior Checklist (ABCL; Achenbach & Rescorla, 2003 Manual for the ASEBA adult forms and profiles. Burlington, VT: University of Vermont, Research Center for Children, Youth, & Families), the DROS showed convergent and divergent validity, concurrent and longitudinal validity.
The DROS is a reliable and valid instrument to measure dynamic risk factors in clients with MID-BIF. Future research on the DROS will focus on the assessment of recidivism and the inclusion of internalizing problems.
本研究检验了动态风险结果量表（DROS）的心理测量特性，该量表旨在测量轻度智力障碍或边缘智力功能（MID-BIF）和外化（包括类似犯罪）行为问题个体的动态风险因素。
样本包括 606 名（86%为男性）来自 MID-BIF 和外化行为问题治疗机构住院病房的患者。
DROS 表现出可接受的因子结构、良好的内部一致性、大多数分量表和总分的显著重测信度以及良好到优秀的评分者间信度。与成人行为检查表（ABCL；Achenbach & Rescorla，2003 ASEBA 成人形式和简介手册。伯灵顿，VT：佛蒙特大学儿童、青年和家庭研究中心）相比，DROS 显示出收敛和发散效度、同时和纵向效度。
DROS 是一种可靠且有效的工具，可测量 MID-BIF 患者的动态风险因素。未来对 DROS 的研究将集中在累犯评估和内化问题的纳入上。
