Abstract | Describes the development and testing of the School Functioning Index (SFI) for middle schools to use in predicting students' violent behavior. The final SFI included nine items and demonstrated good internal consistency and variability. It was modestly correlated in expected directions with violence and other health behavior. Results support the feasibility of combining multiple school-level indicators to create a measure of overall school functioning. (SM) |
