Summary

This is a prospective randomized control trial design to evaluate the effectiveness of a hospital based violence intervention program. Participants will be randomized into a "treatment as usual" group who will receive written referrals for services and an "enhanced services" group who will receive intensive case management over a one year period. Primary outcome will be rate of violent reinjury after enrollment. Follow-up will be for one year.

Conditions

  • Violence
  • Recidivism

Interventions

OTHER

Enhanced Services

In enhanced services, the provision of services go beyond just referring a patient and leaving them to follow-through on their own accord. ES varies based on resources, model of service delivery, philosophy, and role and responsibilities of team members. Enhanced services usually includes longer-term case management which can then facilitate the connection to clinical counseling, victim assistance, familial assistance, legal assistance, emergency financial funding, transportation for subsequent appointments related to a patient's medical condition, employment assistance, and assistance in educational program enrollment.

OTHER

Treatment as Usual

Individuals randomized to TAU will receive a list of resources which provides participants with community agency information that they can engage on their own. The list of resources will include contact information for various services such as housing, employment, mental health and legal services. Patients randomized into this condition receive little to no assistance from program staff and must navigate the vast terrain of social service providers on their own.
