| Youth's Inventory-4 (YI-4) |
User
Level: B
The Youth's Inventory-4 (YI-4) is
a self-report rating scale that helps to evaluate a variety of adolescent psychiatric disorders
and is based on the criteria
specified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV (1994;
American Psychiatric Association). The YI-4 contains 120 items that
correspond with those in the Adolescent
Symptom Inventory-4 (ASI-4) and is designed to be completed in less
than 30 minutes. The YI-4 is appropriate for use with
male and female adolescents aged 12-18.
The YI-4 can provide valuable insight
into the youth's perceptions of his or her problems. It is designed to be
used in conjunction with the ASI-4. This rather unique instrument is
well-suited for use in school and clinical settings.
