Summary

This study tested a program called IntERact to see if it could reduce risky firearm behaviors like carrying or using a gun among urban youth ages 16 to 30. Participants were recruited from emergency departments in Flint and Saginaw, Michigan, and received therapy sessions plus a smartphone app with daily support. The goal was to help young people make safer choices 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
behavioral intervention (therapy sessions and smartphone app)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a scalable way to reduce firearm violence among at-risk youth.
What could go wrong
This is a completed trial, but results are not yet widely confirmed. The intervention is behavioral, so effects may vary by individual and setting.
