Answer:

magnitude and the probability of it occurring

Step-by-step explanation:

In every single study that involves an individuals risk of self-harm there are two variables that need to be evaluated, and those are the magnitude and the probability of it occurring. In other words how likely is the individual to hurt themselves and if they do, to what extent (physical, emotional, death). By evaluating this can allow you to take action if things get to serious, or even prevent something from happening that can lead that person that is at risk from hurting themselves.
