Youth Assessment (YASI)
The Youth Assessment and Screening Instrument (YASI™) is an innovative model that assesses risk, needs and protective factors in youth populations. YASI™:
- Measures both risk and strengths in juvenile populations as well as other high risk youth.
- Measures protective factors to help case workers build on the strengths of youth to buffer the negative impact of risk.
- Provides pre-screening functionality, critical for settings where triage based on risk principles is required.
- Includes a case planning component designed to help case workers identify and monitor the priority targets for behavior change.
- Produces results quickly and efficiently through web-based software that also guides the user through case plan development.
- Provides an attractive visual method for presenting and sharing assessment results.
