| Description | Journal: Journal of Child & Adolescent Trauma This article presents the Multiplex Empirically Guided Inventory of Ecological Aggregates for Assessing Sexually Abusive Adolescents and Children, or MEGA, a comprehensively-structured risk assessment protocol for assessing sexually abusive behavior in all youth ages 19 years and under. This includes male and female adjudicated and non-adjudicated youth, children under 12, and developmentally delayed youth. MEGA (Miccio-Fonseca, 2006b) is composed of seven aggregates and four distinct risk scales: (a) risk, (b) protective risk, (c) estrangement, and (d) persistent sexual deviancy. Exemplary internal consistency reliability data (α >.80, p =.001) on a sample of N = 1,184 (979 males and 205 females) are presented; findings on the estrangement and persistent sexual deviancy scales are discussed in depth. |
