Ripple Effects Whole Spectrum Intervention System (WSIS) includes an integrated suite of software and web-based tools enable needs assessment, personalized, training, evaluation, and data management.

Group assessment

Web-based, group level, school climate profilers can quickly assess initial needs and measure group change, from student and staff perspectives.

Individual – pre- and post-

Six, validated, computerized surveys about attitudes and self-perception, enable pre­ and post- testing for evaluation of internal intervention outcomes at both individual and group levels. The six programs are computer-based survey and assessment tools that save student responses to six surveys. These assessments are intended to measure changes in several key SEL and prevention indicators before and after use of Ripple Effects comprehensive behavior training programs. They can also be used for pre and post assessment for any comprehensive and systematic SEL intervention.

Sample screen: Pre/post survey on resilience

The assessments are:

For elementary school students:

1. "you" (measuring resiliency assets), and
2. "your school" (measuring school climate with respect to safety and discrimination).

For middle and high school students:

1. control (locus of control or self efficacy),
2. norms about drugs,
3. resilience, and
4. school climate The survey instruments are all science based and adapted from previously validated scales. The Ripple Effects Resilience assessment is adapted for multi-media from the California Healthy Kid Survey. The Ripple Effects Self-determination Scales (RESD) are adapted for multi-media from the Multi-dimensional Health Locus of Control scales (MHLC) that are in the public domain. MHLC have been used in over a thousand studies and have been cited in the literature hundreds of times over the past 20+years. Ripple Effects' drug norms and perceptions instrument is adapted for multi-media from Monitoring the Future (MTF), an ongoing study of the behaviors, attitudes, and values of American secondary school students, college students, and young adults funded primarily by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

30 interactive self-profiles provide an immediate mirror of subjective assessments of personal strengths and opportunities for growth, along with suggestions for how to pursue that growth.
