A Survey Study of the Prevalence of At-Risk Taiwanese in Urban Areas
Listed in Harvard Dataverse
The purpose of the present study is to assess redict the prevalence rate of adolescents at-risk in the three major cities in Taiwan.
Description
Data will be collected and analyzed from three resources: national reports of crime rates, the adolescents\' self-reported risk behavior frequencies, and results of a national survey in present study. In the survey an empirically studied instrument designed to assess adolescents\' risk status will high prediction accuracy rate will be used after revisions.
Dimensions of the instrument include background factors (gender, birth order, parents\' marital status, person(s) they reside with), experiences with risk behaviors (past risk behaviors, having family or friends with risk behaviors, absenteeism, run-away form home), and cognitive distortion. A check-list based on these dimensions will be provided for the teachers and counselors to help identify the participants for the pilot testing of the instrument and the study.

Reliability, validity, and norms will be established for the instrument. The rate of at-risk Taiwanese adolescents in Urban Areas is about 2.9%. In conclusion, knowledge of risk factors contributing to stipulate youth\'s risk behaviors is crucial to the early assessment and intervention counseling adolescents.
Results of the study both apparently provide empirical evidence of how at-risk adolescents were different form their peers. Results of the study also led to development of an practical instrument by which strategies of early assessment and interventions then can be shared with professionals or paraprofessionals to better their practice working with at-risk adolescents.
