An algorithm for psychosocial screening of fragile families belonging to the Modena AUSL

An algorithm for psychosocial screening of fragile families belonging to the Modena AUSL. The research proposes an initial validation of the Psychosocial Risk/Risk Screening Parenting Algorithm (SRP), developed to support Child Protection Services in the assessment of referring families. The SRP produces a predictive output of the risk of adverse childhood experience (ACE) by processing information derived from: the Risk and Psychosocial Protection Factor Assessment Protocol (FdR-FP Protocol); the Parenting Stress Index (PSI - SF); the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The participants were 122 minors (73 females; mean age 9.31 years; range = 0-17 aa; SD = 4.34). The results (Cramer's V 0.541; p-value associated with Chi-square test < 0.001) show good margins of predictive effectiveness of the instrument.
