Abstract
Poly-victimization refers to experiencing multiple different types of victimization, such as physical abuse by a caregiver, bullying at school, and witnessing an assault in one's neighborhood. Poly-victimization is the strongest predictor of psychological symptoms in multiple national studies. Accurate assessment of the true burden of victimization can improve your work and be integrated into your practice. This webinar will describe how assessing poly-victimization can enhance clinical assessment, needs assessment, program evaluation, and basic research. The Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire, a freely available tool used in the largest studies of poly-victimization, and other tools that assess multiple forms of adversity will be described.
