COMMUNITIES THAT CARE: CTC NEEDS ASSESMENT QUESTIONNAIRE FOR PLANNING PREVENTIVE INTERVENTIONS IN CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE. (English)

The article deals with strategic planning of prevention attempts and presents a process of adaptation of the US instrument CTC Youth Survey aimed at assessing the needs of children and young people. The needs assessment, i.e. determining existing resources and protective factors of a community as well as its disadvantages and risk factors, represents a starting point for elaborating priorities of preventive actions in a community. The CTC Youth Survey is a result of the »Communities That Care« system and represents a unique instrument of examining risk factors and protective factors for the development of behaviour problems in children and young people as well as predictors of behaviour disorders in young people, such as abusive behaviour, delinquency, use of alcohol and psychoactive substance abuse. The article presents the process of adaptation of the CTC Questionnaire for Children and Young People to the Croatian setting. The modality of abbreviation and the adaptation of the US questionnaire as well as of verification of its characteristics is presented. Besides presenting the internal structure of the questionnaire, the article also deals with the profiles of risk factors and protective factors on the sample from the Istria County. Some practical guidelines for the use of the CTC Questionnaire for Children and Young People are presented as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ovaj rad usmjeren je na strategijsko planiranje preventivnih napora. Predstavlja proces adaptacije američkog instrumenta CTC Youth Survey koji je namijenjen procjeni potreba djece i mladih čiji se rezultati koriste kao polazišna točka u postavljanju preventivnih strategija. Procjena potreba u zajednici, odnosno utvr&x0111;ivanje postojećih resursa i zaštitnih čimbenika neke zajednice kao i nedostataka, rizičnih čimbenika, predstavlja polazište postavljanja prioriteta preventivnih djelovanja u odre&x0111;enoj zajednici. CTC Youth Survey proizašao je iz sustava »Comunities That Care« te predstavlja jedinstveni instrument ispitivanja rizičnih i zaštitnih čimbenika za razvoj poremećaja u ponašanju kod djece i mladih kao i prediktora poremećaja u ponašanju mladih poput nasilničkog ponašanja, delinkvencije, pijenja alkohola te zlouporabe psihoaktivnih tvari. U radu će biti predstavljen proces adaptacije CTC Upitnika za djecu i mlade u hrvatskim uvjetima. Bit će predstavljen proces skraćivanja i adaptacije američkog upitnika te provjera njegovih karakteristika. Uz prikaz internalne strukture upitnika, u članku su prikazani i profili rizičnih i zaštitnih čimbenika na primjeru uzorka Istarske županije. Isto tako, prezentirane su i neke praktične smjernice za korištenje CTC Upitnika za djecu i mlade te praktična primjena profila. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
