Summary

This study tests a program called YEAH, where Black youth use photography and theater to explore and address the root causes of community violence. Researchers will measure changes in prosocial and aggressive behavior among 360 participants. The goal is to see if this youth-led approach can foster healing and reduce violence.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

What this could lead to
If effective, this program could offer a community-based approach to reduce violence and promote healing among Black youth.
What could go wrong
