Firesetting Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT-Y)
The Firesetting Risk Assessment Tool for Youth (FRAT-Y), developed by Dr. Robert Stadolnik, is the only structured decsion making (SDM) tool which provides best-practice guidelines for clinical risk assessment and is based on a “multiple methods, multiple measures, multiple domains” approach. Designed for children and adolescents ages 5–18, it provides trained mental health clinicians with a structured, evidence-informed framework for assessing firesetting risk across seventeen risk factors.
The FRAT-Y is described as a “third-generation” risk assessment tool, bridging the gap between actuarial risk prediction and unstructured clinical judgment. Individual factor ratings are used to determine overall risk, identify primary and secondary firesetting motivations, and guide appropriate individual, family, and community safety interventions.

The Firesetting Risk Assessment (FRAT-Y) Tool provides 13 descriptive profiles to clarify a youth’s motivation for firesetting, along with 17 research-based risk factors and specific rating criteria to support clinical decision-making. It guides clinicians in organizing firesetting assessments, interpreting risk profiles, and developing intervention and treatment plans that specifically target risk reduction for their client.

"Dr. Stadolnik taught me how to ask the right questions and gather the right data to confidently distinguish between low and high-risk firesetting behaviors. He the “extra mile” to ensure I not only learned the FRAT-Y system but that I also understood how to recommend the best intervention plan to reduce risk, and how to communicate those recommendations to lay professionals to immensely reduce a child’s risk of firesetting."
