Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a hospital-community based violence prevention pilot study designed to increase protective factors and reduce negative risk factors associated with violence of children aged 10-15. Behaviors and attitudes that relate to violence and behavior change will be assessed through a series of questionnaires administered in an interview format. Assessments will occur every nine weeks. Additionally, objective long term measures for violence related hospital visits, delinquency, and educational development will be obtained. The study will include the following interventions: 1. Brief violence prevention (BVP): a case manager administered psycho-educational intervention that will include an interactive discussion with youth regarding resources for remaining safe and preventing violence. The intervention will address the concerns and questions of youth and youth will be given information on how to access community based resources if needed. 2. Brief violence awareness (BVA): a packet of information about violence prevention and local community resources. 3. Emerging Leaders: East End: a semester (17 weeks) long curriculum based positive youth development education program held at the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Richmond, Martin Luther King Middle School site that includes case management to ensure continued engagement and participation. Specifically, it is hypothesized that: 1. Participants will report more positive youth behaviors as compared to their initial assessment. 2. Participants will report lower levels of risky youth behaviors compared to their initial assessment. 3. Participants will report increased interest in and knowledge of health professions. 4. Participants will report reduced levels of delinquency compared to their initial assessment. 5. Participants will report a reduction in the number of violence related hospital visits compared to the general 23223 population. 6. Hospital data will show a reduction in violence related activities that led to hospital visits, or delinquent behavioral involvement.
