First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a program that helps neighbors work together and build trust can reduce violence in their community. About 4,600 teens and adults in selected Pittsburgh neighborhoods will take part. Researchers will compare changes in violence rates and community cohesion between neighborhoods that get the program and those that do not.
