The most appropriate intervention when screening to identify persons at risk for violence is to:

1. Report instances of violence.
2. Refer these persons for counseling.
3. Engage in case finding to teach others how to recognize signs of abuse or potential violence.
4. Engage in political activity to advocate for adequate treatment facilities for persons at risk.

ESSAYBID ANSWER

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. The best approach in screening to identify persons at risk for violence is to engage in case finding. Teachers and counselors are in a good position to recognize signs of potential abuse and violence, and should be taught how to recognize abuse or potential for violence. Reporting instances of violence is an intervention, but does not address how to identify persons at risk. Referring for counseling is an intervention done after the identification of violence risk has been made. Advocating for shelters is an intervention that addresses provisions for persons at risk for violence, but does not address identifying the at-risk person.
