Abstract Youth violence is a significant U.S. public health priority as homicide is the third leading cause of death for adolescents (age 14-20), 90% is from firearm violence. Assault injuries are associated with significant long- term consequences, including repeat fatal/non-fatal assault injuries, future firearm violence, substance use disorders, mental health issues, and criminal justice involvement. Substantial disparities exist in outcomes, with firearm homicide, substance use, and incarceration rates higher among Black youth residing in urban communities. Structural factors associated with racism and inequitable distribution of resources are at the root of all forms of violence, and especially interpersonal firearm violence. We have an urgent need for interventions reducing violence especially firearm-related morbidity and mortality among urban youth. Our proposed Center includes two research strategies along the translational science continuum to advance youth firearm injury prevention. First, we plan to conduct a Hybrid Type 3, multi-site effectiveness implementation trial to test the community effectiveness of an existing evidence-based practice for youth violence prevention. This study aligns with Research Area 2 and #3. Second, we are conducting a Hybrid Type 1 implementation-effectiveness study of existing youth engaged gun violence primary prevention programs. We will use a multi-case study design to study individual and community level outcomes while simultaneously gathering data on program implementation. Community level police incidents and injury data will be analyzed. Our partner communities and study sites are Muskegon, MI and surrounding area, and Washington, DC. While these locations differ in context, they share a history of severe racial segregation, disinvestment and economic inequality and are experiencing escalating crises of youth firearm violence and homicide. This study will result in toolkits for community and youth engaged gun violence prevention that can be translated to multiple contexts. We will also work with two youth advisory boards (WashDC and Michigan) who will provide feedback on our research, and lead online and in person community outreach activities. Our proposed Center also includes collaboration with our CDC-funded public health leadership training program for our Training Core. This Core is designed to establish a pipeline of underrepresented minority undergraduate and graduate students to get research and practice experience working in prevention of youth violence in general, and gun violence in particular. The Training Core also includes postdoctoral positions to develop researchers in this field. Our research team includes faculty from the disciplines of public health, emergency medicine, psychiatry, and community and educational psychology, with expertise in violence and injury prevention including firearm violence prevention in multiple settings and 25+ years of experience partnering with community residents, organizations, institutions, to implement and evaluate community level violence prevention strategies.

摘要 青少年暴力是美国公共卫生的一个重要优先事项，因为杀人是导致青少年死亡的第三大原因 青少年(14-20岁)90%来自枪支暴力。攻击伤害与严重的长期- 长期后果，包括反复致命性/非致命性袭击伤害、未来的枪支暴力、药物使用 精神障碍、精神健康问题和刑事司法参与。在结果方面存在很大的差距， 居住在城市的黑人青年的枪杀率、吸毒率和监禁率较高 社区。与种族主义和资源分配不公有关的结构性因素是根源 所有形式的暴力，特别是人际间的枪支暴力。我们迫切需要 减少城市青年中的暴力，特别是与枪支有关的发病率和死亡率的干预措施。我们的 建议的中心包括沿翻译科学连续体的两项研究战略，以促进青年 预防火器伤。首先，我们计划进行混合型3，多点效能 实施试验以测试现有青年循证实践的社区有效性 预防暴力。这项研究与研究领域2和#3相一致。第二，我们正在进行混合 第一类实施--现有青少年参与枪支暴力初级预防的有效性研究 程序。我们将使用多案例研究设计来研究个人和社区层面的结果，同时 同时收集有关计划实施的数据。社区一级的警察事件和伤害数据 将会被分析。我们的合作伙伴社区和研究地点是马斯基贡、密歇根州及其周边地区，以及 华盛顿特区。虽然这些地区的背景不同，但它们都有严重种族隔离的历史， 投资缩水和经济不平等，并正在经历青年、枪支、暴力和 凶杀组。这项研究将为社区和青年参与的枪支暴力预防提供工具包，可以 被翻译成多个上下文。我们还将与两个青年顾问委员会(华盛顿特区和密歇根)合作。 世卫组织将对我们的研究提供反馈，并领导在线和面对面的社区外联活动。我们的 拟建的中心还包括与我们的疾控中心资助的公共卫生领导力培训计划进行合作 我们的训练核心。这一核心旨在建立一条代表人数不足的少数族裔本科生的渠道 和研究生在预防青少年暴力方面获得研究和实践经验 一般情况下，尤其是枪支暴力。培训核心还包括待开发的博士后职位 该领域的研究人员。我们的研究团队包括来自公共卫生、急救等学科的教师。 医学、精神病学、社区和教育心理学，具有暴力和伤害方面的专业知识 预防，包括在多个环境中预防枪支暴力，以及25年以上的合作经验 与社区居民、组织、机构一起实施和评估社区层面的暴力 预防策略。
