Summary

This study is evaluating a hospital-based violence intervention program called Turning the Tide for people treated after a violent injury. Researchers will track 220 patients to see if the program reduces PTSD, depression, and repeat injuries, and improves self-esteem and access to services. The goal is to gather evidence on whether these programs help survivors and their communities.
