The main variable was the "risk of violence directed at others", the data collection was carried out using an assessment screening instrument for the adolescent attending school. The clinical validity of the diagnosis, was performed using factor analysis and Rasch analysis. Results: the population comprised 300 adolescents, the median age was 14 years, and 58.67% were female. The items that fitted the Rasch model analysis with a INFIT are ranging between 0.85 the lowest and 1.24 the the highest, and OUTFIT ranging between 0.65 the lowest and 1.77 the highest.
