The Life Attitudes Schedule Short Form: an Abbreviated Measure of Life-Enhancing and Life-Threatening Behaviors in Adolescents

In this study, a 24 item short form of the life attitudes schedule was created. Items were developed for each of the content categories: death-related, health-related, injury-related, & self-related. As with the original life attitude scale, boys reported more injury-related behaviour than girls. Future research & clinical directions are suggested.
