An Illustration Using the RSVP Stephen D. Hart, PhD Structuring Risk Management Decisions Using Scenario Planning Methods
Rationale • The RSVP is a new set of structured professional judgment (SPJ) guidelines designed to facilitate comprehensive, treatment-oriented sexual violence risk assessments • It builds on other SPJ guidelines, such as the Sexual Violence Risk-20 (SVR-20)
Interrater Reliability • Interrater reliability of presence and relevance ratings for individual risk factors is good to excellent • There is no difference in reliability for ratings of presence and relevance of individual risk factors • Interrater reliability of domain and overall ratings is good to excellent • Interrater reliability of summary judgments is excellent
Concurrent Validity • Concurrent validity with respect to SPJs and ARAIs is good • Most strongly related to SVR-20 and SORAG, likely due to content overlap • The common variance among instruments can be accounted for in large part by psychopathy • Various RSVP summary judgments have different concurrent validities • Case prioritization ratings are more strongly related to actuarial scores than are other ratings
Predictive Validity • Sexual violence risk assessments made using the RSVP have moderate predictive validity • Equivalent to that of SVR-20, ARAIs • Similar to SPJs and ARAIs in past research
Scenarios • How do evaluators develop scenarios? • Talk-aloud analysis to examine case information, risk factors, and implicit theories used by evaluators • What is the nature of the scenarios generated? • Content analysis to examine numbers, details, distinctiveness • What is the interrater reliability of scenarios of future sexual violence? • Evaluate similarity of scenarios between raters/within cases versus between raters/between cases
Management Strategies • How do evaluators develop plans? • Talk-aloud analysis to examine case information, risk factors, and implicit theories used by evaluators • What is the nature of the plans generated? • Content analysis to examine numbers, details, distinctiveness • What is the interrater reliability of strategies? • Evaluate similarity of plans between raters/within cases versus between raters/between cases
Efficacy • Do scenarios and plans influence improve case management? • RCT to evaluate improvements in service delivery and violence prevention
