The intent of the Risk & Needs Assessment, Inc. (Risk & Needs) Guest Log is to establish communication links with website visitors. We would like to interconnect with a cross section of people interested in tests and their results. We would like to share ideas regarding screening, assessment and testing with other interested parties. Topics like new tests, unique assessment needs, recidivism prediction and the future of testing captivate our interest. Others have expressed interest in how they can best meet their assessment needs. We find topics like test design, test selection and test-related research energizing. It is the act or process of sharing test information (ideas and knowledge) that invigorates Risk & Needs' staff. We invite you to join this group of test oriented individuals by completing the Risk & Needs Guest Log. The price of admission is a sincere interest in assessment, screening and tests.

Risk & Needs is as concerned about receiving unsolicited advertisements and unwanted spam as you are. Nobody wants unnecessary trivia and unwanted clutter in their inbox. However, we would like to keep you informed of our test upgrades, invite your participation in new test standardization and solicit your involvement in recidivism prediction research. In all instances, you will decide your involvement. We anticipate developing one new test a year and hope to initiate at least one longitudinal study annually. Our interest is in keeping all of our test users -- both large and small -- properly informed. At the most, you might get 3 or 4 e-mail messages from us. And, if you should ever want those e-mails stopped, just let us know. In short, we would like to be able to communicate with you professionally, in a responsible manner on test-related matters.

We tried to keep Risk & Needs' Guest Log information as basic as possible. Yet, we may have overlooked a more fundamental or straightforward approach. If we erred, it’s largely due to our desire to communicate with other test-oriented individuals.

As always, additional information can be provided upon request. Risk & Needs' telephone number is (602) 234-3506, our fax number is (602) 266-8227 and our e-mail address is hhl@riskandneeds.com. If, for whatever reason, you don’t want to complete the Guest Log, that’s OK. All we ask is that you give it some thought.
