The M-CAAP provides a process for evaluating adolescents who have sexually abusive behavior or other problematic sexual behaviors. The M-CAAP is a comprehensive exploration of a youth’s life that reviews a group of historical, personal and contextual factors that lend themselves to a more complete understanding of the youth and the circumstances that may have contributed to the abusive behaviors.

The M-CAAP is a tool designed to guide clinicians in their understanding of a youth’s risk of future problematic sexual behaviors, and to formulate appropriate case management and/or treatment decisions. This tool cannot, and should not be used, to predict risk of future behaviors. Instead the M-CAAP reflects the nature, preponderance, and severity of risk and protective factors for any given youth, and identities potential areas for treatment.

Finally, the M-CAAP is designed to be used only by those clinicians with a history of working with youth with problematic sexual behaviors, and it is strongly recommended that clinicians should have training in the proper use of the M-CAAP to guide decision-making prior to usage.
