Child Risk Assessment Instruments 

As of this writing, there are no validated instruments to assess the risk for future sexual behavior problems in children (ages 5-12) exhibiting such behavior. Research has identified potential risk factors and treatment targets that should be assessed when working with children. For more information about emerging best practices in this area see the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center Treatment for Children with Sexual Behavior Problems and the ATSA fact sheet on children with sexual behavior problems.1
