Filter by:The goal of the study is to understand if hospital-based violence interventions are effective for reducing youth violence among violently injured youth. This study will allow researchers to learn more about the intervention's effectiveness. The researchers also want to understand if the violence intervention impacts other behaviors, such as firearm use, drug use, aggression, risky behaviors, and rates of violent re-injury.
This study will use a randomized control trial (RCT) design to administer two versions of a multisession remote behavioral intervention for youth seeking Emergency Department care for a violent injury with the goal to reduce their violence involvement and associated negative behaviors and consequences. The study examines two versions of the remote therapy intervention - a standard RTI (S-RTI) and an Artificial Intelligence RTI (AI-RTI). The application of a just-in-time adaptive strategy to address youth violence is an important and novel direction for this research, particularly given the need to understand best practices for delivering behavioral interventions among lower-income populations.
This pilot quasi-experimental community based trial examines the feasibility of a sexual violence and adolescent relationship abuse prevention program for girls aged 14-19. Feasibility is assessed through participant attendance, retention and program satisfaction measures and interviews are conducted at baseline, end of program and 3 month follow up (endline) about participant experiences.
The purpose of this research study is to test if a hospital-based violence prevention strategy with a community-level initiative is effective for cross-cutting violence prevention in violently injured youth.
This cluster-randomized school-based study will examine the effectiveness of a teen dating violence (TDV) and sexual violence (SV) prevention program called Expect Respect for preventing serious violence perpetration among middle school students.
Adolescence is a period of many physical, mental, emotional, and social changes. It is also associated with risk behaviour conducts. Nonetheless, not all youths under disadvantage, adversity, or exposure to risk factors experience negative mental health outcomes. The concept of RESILIENCE provides one possible explanation for the ability of some individuals to maintain positive mental health. Resilience is thus the ability of an individual or community to adapt to life challenges or adversities while maintaining mental health and well-being. The increasing prevalence of mental disorders amongst children (around 10-20% of young people) makes positive mental health promotion in schools necessary through intervention programmes. UPRIGHT (Universal Preventive Resilience Intervention Globally implemented in schools to improve and promote mental Health for Teenagers) is a research and innovation project funded by the European Union´s Horizon 2020 programme (No. 754919). UPRIGHT general aim is to promote mental well-being and prevent mental disorders in youth by enhancing resilience capacities. It has been designed as a whole school approach addressing early adolescents, their families and the school community to finally create a real mental well-being culture at schools.
The overall goal of this study is to advance the science of youth violence prevention and the social determinants of health by using a community-driven approach to implement a comprehensive intervention. The objective of the proposed project is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an innovative, multi-level intervention that promotes adolescent protective factors and reduces risk behaviors among African American youth residing in Birmingham. Alabama.
Lights4Violence aims to promote adolescents' capabilities to improve their intimate relationships with peers through different participation approach activities. In order to do that, it is planned to perform a longitudinal quasi-experimental educational intervention study with a quantitative evaluation in 5 different cities: Alicante (Spain), Cardiff (UK), Porto (Portugal), Iasi (Romania) and Lublin (Poland) between 2018 and 2019.
