 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application details a plan to build from and expand the work of the currently funded Chicago Center for Youth Violence Prevention (U01 CE001949-05) through the collaboration of researchers and a coalition of faith and community leaders to support a community initiated effort to reduce youth crime and violence within a target high-risk community in Chicago. Building from both the success and lessons learned from the currently funded Center, the focus of the approach proposed in this application is to move from the study of the individual and collective impact of a set of preventive interventions delivered within a single community to the implementation and evaluation of a community-level prevention system. In addition, building from previous work of this group of investigators, data from the Illinois Violent Death Reporting System and administrative data gathered from city data archives will be used to evaluate policy-level prevention strategies that are currently being implemented in the target and other high burden communities in Chicago. These data will also be used to conduct a series of studies to inform policies to reduce and prevent youth and other forms of violence. This combination of activities is designed to address critical gaps in the field and buil the evidence-base regarding effective community and policy-level prevention strategies to achieve community-level impact on youth and other forms of violence. The Center's primary aims are: 1) to build a coalition of community, policy and academic partners to address the issues of youth and other forms of violence within Chicago neighborhoods; 2) to evaluate the process and impact of implementing a community-level prevention system (Communities that Care) in a high-risk urban community and to identify unique challenges and adaptations necessary for implementation in urban neighborhoods; 3) to evaluate the diffusion and impact of CTC on neighborhood social organization and processes (i.e., collective efficacy, social organization, connection and support, norms and attitudes toward violence), processes that have been empirically linked with youth and other forms of violence; 4) to evaluate and inform current policy strategies aimed at reducing youth and other forms of violence; 5) to provide training and technical assistance to build capacity for schools and community agencies to select and implement evidence-based interventions and to evaluate existing interventions within the community; and 6) to disseminate empirical findings regionally and nationally to scientific, practice and policy communities.

 描述（由申请人提供）：本申请详细介绍了一项计划，以建立和扩大目前资助的芝加哥青年暴力预防中心（U 01 CE 001949 -05）的工作，通过研究人员和信仰和社区领袖联盟的合作，以支持社区发起的努力，以减少青年犯罪和暴力在芝加哥的目标高风险社区。从成功和从目前资助的中心吸取的经验教训的基础上，本申请中提出的方法的重点是从研究在单一社区内提供的一套预防干预措施的个人和集体影响转向社区一级预防系统的实施和评价。此外，从以前的工作，从伊利诺伊州暴力死亡报告系统的数据和从城市数据档案收集的行政数据将被用来评估政策层面的预防战略，目前正在实施的目标和其他高负担的社区在芝加哥。这些数据还将用于开展一系列研究，为减少和预防青年暴力和其他形式暴力的政策提供信息。这一系列活动的目的是解决实地的重大差距，并建立有效的社区和政策一级预防战略的证据基础，以便在社区一级对青年和其他形式的暴力产生影响。该中心的主要目标是：1）建立社区、政策和学术伙伴联盟，以解决芝加哥社区内的青年问题和其他形式的暴力问题; 2）评估实施社区一级预防系统的过程和影响（关心的社区），并确定在城市社区实施所需的独特挑战和适应措施; 3）评估CTC对邻里社会组织和过程的扩散和影响（即，集体效能、社会组织、联系和支持、对暴力的规范和态度）、与青年和其他形式暴力有经验联系的进程; 4）评价和通报旨在减少青年和其他形式暴力的现行政策战略; 5）提供培训和技术援助，以建设学校和社区机构选择和实施证据的能力-6）在区域和国家一级向科学界、实践界和政策界传播经验研究结果。
