The M-CAAP was developed by national experts who donated their time to develop a process for evaluating adolescents who have sexually abusive behavior or other problematic sexual behaviors. MASOC is deeply appreciative of Phil Rich, Steve Bengis, Kevin Creeden, Robert Kinscherff, Ron Mackenzie, Nancy Dias and many others who created this important protocol.

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 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 should only be used by clinicians with a history of working with youth engaging in problematic sexual behavior. It is strongly recommended that clinicians take advantage of the training available in the proper use of the M-CAAP to guide decision-making.
