• TITLE: Technical Adequacy of the Student Protective Factors Screening Scale (SPF-7) as a Universal Screening Tool

  AUTHORS: Julie Q. Morrison

  KEYWORDS: Universal Screening, Protective Factors

  JOURNAL NAME: Psychology, Vol.6 No.7, June 2, 2015

  ABSTRACT: Universal screening is a critical foundation for school-based prevention and early intervention. This study examined the technical adequacy of the SPF-7, an instrument designed to assist school personnel in the early identification of students at-risk for emotional and behavioral concerns. The SPF-7 differs from other measures used in identifying emotionally and behaviorally at-risk students, as the SPF-7 focuses on protective factors rather than risk factors. The results of this study suggest that the SPF-7 has adequate test-retest reliability and criterion validity, but limited inter-rater agreement. The SPF-7 is a potentially promising tool for identifying students in need of support within a multi-tiered system of increasingly intensive interventions.
