No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Primary outcome: Research participants and their network contacts will be followed over 6 months to assess whether a social work case management protocol results in reduction of trauma services recidivism and criminal violence arrests.

Conditions

  • Skin Injury Due to Violence
  • Gunshot Wound, Contact

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Social Work Case Management

The National Network of Hospital Violence Intervention (NNHVI) suggests that intervening when gunshot victims are receiving treatment in hospital trauma services may be effective in linking high-risk individuals to appropriate case management services, and that this service linkage may lower the risk of further violence. Our adaptation of the NNHVI model will focus on the social networks of gunshot victims as well as the victims themselves. Intervention efforts will range from job training and mentoring to relocation to different communities.
