The survey data comprises information about the social and cultural environment of one or more members of a risk population, including the member's perceptions of their social and environmental factors, the member's demographic data, and optionally publicly available data associated with the member's geographic environment. A predictive risk assessment unit analyzes perceived risk hierarchy inventories to generate a risk portfolio for each surveyed member of the population, which risk portfolio may include a risk predictive quotient profile for each such member assigning a numeric value indicating a likelihood of that member engaging in certain negative activities, a recommendation of interventions that are determined to reduce the likelihood of such member engaging in those negative activities, and preferably a record of success and/or failure of various interventions in reducing that risk. Intervention partners then administer the interventions to the surveyed members, record the success or failure of such intervention in preventing the identified dangerous behavior, and transmit an intervention effectiveness report to the predictive risk assessment unit. The predictive risk assessment unit may then modify and recalibrate the survey instrument and the associated recommended intervention products and tools to maximize the successes of interventions. | 2020-04-30 |
