Violence Clinical Trial
Official title:
Youth Empowerment Solutions for Peaceful Communities
This project is an evaluation of an intervention to involve youth in creating community
change for peace promotion and violence prevention. The intervention, Youth Empowerment
Solutions for Peaceful Communities (YES), includes three components: youth empowerment
activities, neighborhood organization development, and community development projects that
involve youth and organizations working together.
Hypothesis 1: Efforts to engage youth in the community change process will enhance their
attachment to their community, reduce their problem behaviors, and begin to change norms
among their peers about community violence and interpersonal problem solving.
Hypothesis 2: Efforts to make community-based organizations more youth-friendly and engaging
will assist them to be more effective in reaching their community enhancement goals and will
expand youth involvement in their mission.
Hypothesis 3: Efforts to create more health-enhancing land use (e.g., beautification,
community gardens, parks development) will improve social organization (e.g., social
capital, social cohesion, and social support), and reduce the level of violent incidents and
crime in the community.
