Risk and protective factors
Risk and protective factors are organized by
the domains where youth live & interact:
– Community– Family– School– Individual/peer
![Page 6: And the Survey Says: Overview to 2012 Tompkins County Youth Development Survey Presented by: Kris Bennett, CCHY & Tompkins County Youth Services Dept](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e5e78/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Risk factors
Conditions that increase the likelihood of a young person becoming involved in drug use, delinquency, teen pregnancy, school drop out, and/or violence
![Page 7: And the Survey Says: Overview to 2012 Tompkins County Youth Development Survey Presented by: Kris Bennett, CCHY & Tompkins County Youth Services Dept](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e5e78/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Protective factors (assets)Community opportunities for prosocial involvement

Family opportunities for prosocial involvement
Family rewards for prosocial involvement
Family attachment
School opportunities for prosocial involvement
School prosocial involvement
School rewards for prosocial involvement
Religiosity

![Page 8: And the Survey Says: Overview to 2012 Tompkins County Youth Development Survey Presented by: Kris Bennett, CCHY & Tompkins County Youth Services Dept](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e5e78/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why Risk & Protective?
• Research based
• By measuring risk and protective factors, risk factors that are elevated can be identified and targeted with prevention interventions and protective factors can be enhanced– Example: If academic failure is identified as an
elevated risk factor, mentoring and tutoring interventions can be provided
![Page 9: And the Survey Says: Overview to 2012 Tompkins County Youth Development Survey Presented by: Kris Bennett, CCHY & Tompkins County Youth Services Dept](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e5e78/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How survey calculated factors• Responses to one or more questions were used to
calculate each factor
• Example: Risk factor: Community Disorganization5 survey questions:
1. I feel safe in my neighborhoodHow much do these statements describe your neighborhood?
2. Crime and/or drug selling3. Fights4. Lots of empty or abandoned buildings5. Lots of graffiti
![Page 10: And the Survey Says: Overview to 2012 Tompkins County Youth Development Survey Presented by: Kris Bennett, CCHY & Tompkins County Youth Services Dept](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e5e78/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Risk & Protective Factors in Tompkins County
![Page 11: And the Survey Says: Overview to 2012 Tompkins County Youth Development Survey Presented by: Kris Bennett, CCHY & Tompkins County Youth Services Dept](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e5e78/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Protective factors
National normative average = 50; Tompkins overall average = 54
8 of 10 factors rank higher than 50
![Page 12: And the Survey Says: Overview to 2012 Tompkins County Youth Development Survey Presented by: Kris Bennett, CCHY & Tompkins County Youth Services Dept](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e5e78/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Strongest protective factors
• Belief in a moral order
• School opportunities for prosocial involvement
• Social skills
• Translation:
Most youth have strong beliefs in what is “right” or “wrong” & have skills to resist negative peer pressure. They say they have chances to participate meaningfully in important activities at school.
![Page 13: And the Survey Says: Overview to 2012 Tompkins County Youth Development Survey Presented by: Kris Bennett, CCHY & Tompkins County Youth Services Dept](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e5e78/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Risk factors
Tompkins average = 43.
Only one item ranked above 50.
![Page 14: And the Survey Says: Overview to 2012 Tompkins County Youth Development Survey Presented by: Kris Bennett, CCHY & Tompkins County Youth Services Dept](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e5e78/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Weakest risk factors
• Community transitions and mobility • Community disorganization• Parental attitudes favorable to antisocial behavior
• Translation:
Youth report high rates of residential mobility (frequent moves). They say their community is not safe or well maintained, has crime and not enough surveillance. They report low parental disapproval of youth fighting & petty crime.
