Common questions
Why does Stable-2007 need to be paired with an actuarial tool like Static-99R?+
Static-99R measures unchanging historical risk factors, while Stable-2007 tracks characteristics that can shift with intervention, so combining them gives both a baseline risk level and a picture of how that risk is trending under treatment.
How often is Stable-2007 typically readministered?+
It is designed for periodic reassessment during supervision or treatment, since its dynamic items are meant to be re-scored as circumstances change, unlike static instruments scored once from historical record.
