Although the results of the study could inform all of these
goals, the school administrators in the present study requested
surveillance screening for risk factors associated with goals
3 and 4, due to their concerns about an overall level of
misbehavior in some schools that was adversely affecting
teacher and student morale and culminating in incidents
of violence in the schools. In one of the high schools in
particular, several incidents of student violence on campus
caused alarm and growing concerns about the safety of the
students and teachers.
