New Study Finds the CARE Equal to Existing Violence Risk Tools With the Added Benefit of a Risk Management Plan Traditional risk tools, such as the PCL, SAVRY, and Earl-20B have demonstrated that they can significantly improve prediction of risk of dangerousness above that of clinical judgment.

The CARE has a wider range of age applicability and can be used with male and female youth from ages 2 to 19. [PRWEB Feb 17, 2004] From PR Web on February 19, 2004 at 8:46 p.m..
