Summary

This study tests a hospital-based program called Houston-HVIP for people aged 16-35 who have been shot in community violence. Participants get a case manager who helps with needs like job training, housing, and mental health support. The goal is to see if this support reduces the chance of being hurt again by violence over the next year.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Houston-HVIP treatment (behavioral intervention with case management and social service referrals)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide an effective way to help young gunshot survivors avoid future violence and improve their health and well-being.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study (274 participants) focused on one city, so results may not apply elsewhere. The intervention relies on participants engaging with services, which can be challenging.
