This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a hospital-community based violence prevention
pilot study designed to increase protective factors and reduce negative risk factors
associated with violence of children aged 10-15. Behaviors and attitudes that relate to
violence and behavior change will be assessed through a series of questionnaires administered
in an interview format. Assessments will occur every nine weeks. Additionally, objective long
term measures for violence related hospital visits, delinquency, and educational development
will be obtained.
The study will include the following interventions:
1. Brief violence prevention (BVP): a case manager administered psycho-educational
intervention that will include an interactive discussion with youth regarding resources
for remaining safe and preventing violence. The intervention will address the concerns
and questions of youth and youth will be given information on how to access community
based resources if needed.
2. Brief violence awareness (BVA): a packet of information about violence prevention and
local community resources.
3. Emerging Leaders: East End: a semester (17 weeks) long curriculum based positive youth
development education program held at the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Richmond, Martin
Luther King Middle School site that includes case management to ensure continued
engagement and participation.
Specifically, it is hypothesized that:
1. Participants will report more positive youth behaviors as compared to their initial
assessment.
2. Participants will report lower levels of risky youth behaviors compared to their initial
assessment.
3. Participants will report increased interest in and knowledge of health professions.
4. Participants will report reduced levels of delinquency compared to their initial
assessment.
5. Participants will report a reduction in the number of violence related hospital visits
compared to the general 23223 population.
6. Hospital data will show a reduction in violence related activities that led to hospital
visits, or delinquent behavioral involvement.
