About this study
Official title: What Factors Are Important When Assessing an Individual's Insight/Awareness of Their Own Violence Risk?
The overall aim of this questionnaire is to gather the views of qualified clinicians on what factors contribute to an individual's insight or awareness into their own violent behaviours. The questionnaire will also explore what type of tool would be useful to develop for use in clinical practice to aid effective risk assessment and management. Brief demographic information will also be gathered.
Read the detailed description
Despite insight into violence being a factor regularly addressed by professionals in the assessment of future violence occurring research on this concept is sparse. Research instead tends to focus specifically on insight into violence specifically in relation to schizophrenia rather than more broadly in forensic and other clinical settings. What evidence there is suggests that developing an individual's insight or awareness of their own risk of violence is a key factor in reducing the likelihood of them engaging in further acts of violence. Being able to appropriately assess this is key and appears to currently be inconsistent between professionals.
In this study, therefore, a questionnaire will be disseminated to professionals working in secure care or a forensic community setting in order to gather their views on what factors contribute to an individual's insight or awareness into their own violent behaviours.
All clinicians/professionals who are currently employed and qualified as an Offender Manager, Offender Supervisor, Psychologist, Nurse, Social Worker, Occupational Therapist, Psychiatrist, Prison Officer currently working in a secure care or forensic community setting will be eligible to participate. Individuals with the appropriate qualifications working within private practice in the UK will also be eligible to participate. Those working outside the UK will not be eligible to participate.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Questionnaire responses that measure levels of insight or awareness of violence (time frame: 10 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Oct 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
