The SIVRA (Structured Interview for Violence Risk Assessment) is a research-based tool designed to deliver a consistent and objective evaluation of an individual’s risk of violence toward others. This assists Behavioral Intervention Teams (BITs) in proactively addressing the risk and protective factors that influence an individual’s willingness to engage in violence.
Originally developed in 2012, the current version of SIVRA taught in this course is an enhanced version featuring a refined assessment system focusing on 21 risk factors for violence, grounded in the most recent research. It includes an improved user guide, along with supplemental materials such as an interview template and suggested interview questions. Users familiar with the previous version will find the new tool better organized, with clearer descriptions of risk factors and easier scoring.
Those using SIVRA are recommended to have completed a NABITA course on the instrument to better understand the creation, administration and interpretation of the measure.
