Risk factors

Risk factors are characteristics, conditions, or experiences that increase the likelihood of a problem, disease, crisis, or difficulty.

Definicja

A risk factor is not a judgment or a simple cause. Indicates an increased likelihood, usually in combination with other factors. In mental health, risks may result from, among others: from isolation, violence, chronic stress, lack of access to help, health problems or psychoactive substances. A reliable risk analysis always takes into account protective factors.
