Tests for assessing the psychological wellbeing of adolescents and young adults
The CBA-Y assesses the psychological wellbeing of youths aged 14 to 25. It is made up of 500 items, divided into 11 scales, which allow the formation of a psychological profile of what is traditionally defined risk behaviour (drug and alcohol abuse, aggressive and violent behaviour), at the same time exploring the psychological resources needed to cope with adverse events in one’s life (resilience, coping skills and self-efficacy).
The CBA-Y also comes in a shortened version (200 items), useful both for research on youths nowadays and for prevention in schools and as a lighter clinical investigatory questionnaire.
Standardised on a sample of over 1700 subjects, the CBA-Y scales can only be used by professionals enrolled in the Association of Psychologists or who are licensed to practice psychotherapy in accordance with laws in force.
