The Structured Assessment of Malleable Risk Factors (SAMRF)

The Structured Assessment of Malleable Risk Factors (SAMRF) is a tool used by professionals to evaluate and address factors that can be changed or improved to reduce the likelihood of reoffending or problematic behavior. It systematically identifies key areas—such as attitudes, social skills, or substance use—that can be targeted through intervention or therapy. By focusing on these changeable factors, SAMRF helps tailor treatment plans for individuals, promoting safer outcomes and supporting reintegration into society.
