TRANSCRIPT
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
