This subset of forms has roots in treatment preadmission assessments such as the TCU Intake (see Joe, Simpson, Greener, & Rowan-Szal, 2004). They include parallel versions of “adult” and “youth” forms for collecting socio-demographic information along with risk indicators based on key social functioning (family, friends, education) information. Forms focused on physical/mental health functioning as well as a PTSD-based evaluation of trauma symptoms and infectious disease risks (HIV and hepatitis) round out this subgroup of background assessments. (Note that limitations apply to the extent that pretreatment reference periods—or pre-incarceration periods for correctional system inmates—may in some cases be poorly defined or temporally remote).
TCU Global Risk Assessment (TCU RSKForm) documents age, gender, race/ethnicity, education, employment, family involvement, living arrangements, and a broad checklist of background problems.
