Then it was used among the sample of 100 in-patients of Galya Rajanangarindra Institute to test its internal consistency reliability. The incidence of violence outcome was determined among 83 sample cases after following up for 6 weeks. The validity and cut-off score were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve. Results. The index of inter-rater reliability was acceptable (0.72). The internal consistency reliability coefficient of the overall HCR-20 were good (alpha=0.86). The appropriate cut-off score was 21. Conclusion. HCR-20 Thai version can be used for assessing risk of violence among Thai psychiatric patients.
