Risk Behaviours Scale (RDÖ)
Risk behaviour tendencies
Risk Behaviours Scale (RDÖ) assesses risk behaviour tendencies. A structured screening of tendencies towards risk behaviour, used by qualified clinical practitioners where a specific concern has been raised.
What it makes visible
- Covers a range of behaviours rather than a single domain.
- Results carrying a risk indicator bypass the prioritisation queue entirely.
- Confidentiality limits are explained to the student before administration.
Scope and limits
This is a screening and assessment instrument; it does not make a clinical diagnosis. The exact scope of use must be verified against the relevant instrument form, its norm group and the conditions of administration.

Scenarios that include this instrument
Frequently asked questions
It is handled directly and without delay by the guidance service, and referred outside the school where necessary. It does not enter a queue.
Within limits that are explained to the student in advance. Where there is a safety concern, confidentiality has boundaries and the student is told what they are before the instrument is administered.
Scope note
This structure is designed to support assessment, screening and guidance processes — not to make a clinical diagnosis. The aim is not to diagnose but to know the student more accurately, follow their development and identify the support they need in time.
