Summary

This research study aims to see if a community-wide approach called Healthy Communities for Youth can reduce youth violence. It includes a hospital-based program for injured youth and activities to build positive opportunities for all young people. About 3,390 youth aged 12-17 and their parents will take part in intervention communities. The study measures changes in aggression, beliefs about violence, and community involvement.
