PROJECT ABSTRACT Anti-Black racism contributes to disproportionate community violence exposure among Black youth through structural violence including residential segregation, concentrated poverty, and limited access to education and employment opportunities. This structural violence creates a cumulative and collective experience of trauma that manifests as racial trauma. While researchers have called for novel methods to address the violence- related consequences of racial trauma, many current violence prevention practices do not explicitly address this fundamental contributor to community violence inequities. Multilevel approaches that promote individual and collective healing processes and recognize community as an asset and agent of change are needed. We will continue our community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to addressing community violence inequities by implementing and evaluating a multilevel intervention, Youth Empowered Advocating for Health (YEAH), designed to promote individual and collective healing processes to reduce risk for community violence among Black youth ages 12-17. YEAH guides youth through identifying factors that influence health in their community using photovoice, a participatory research methodology that uses photography to examine community concerns, generate ideas to address them, and translate those ideas into social action. Based on our formative CBPR focused on community violence we have adapted YEAH to include strategic storytelling through theater arts as anti-racist community violence prevention strategy. We will evaluate the effectiveness of YEAH on youth prosocial behavior and aggressive behavior, assess racial identity and future orientation as mediators of prevention effects, and explore potential community-level outcomes including Boys and Girls Club enrollment and community youth critical consciousnesses and political and civic mindedness. This project aligns with violence prevention priorities set by NCIPC by evaluating the effectiveness of multi-level strategies that reduce the likelihood of different forms of youth violence.

项目摘要 反黑人种族主义导致黑人青年中不成比例的社区暴力暴露， 结构性暴力，包括居住隔离、集中贫困和受教育机会有限， 就业机会这种结构性暴力造成了累积和集体的创伤经历 表现为种族创伤虽然研究人员呼吁采取新的方法来解决暴力问题， 种族创伤的相关后果，目前许多预防暴力的做法没有明确解决 这是造成社区暴力不平等的根本原因。促进个人发展的多层次方法 需要有集体愈合进程，并承认社区是一种资产和变革的推动者。我们 我们将继续以社区为基础的参与性研究（CBPR）方法来解决社区暴力问题 通过实施和评估多层次干预措施，青年赋权健康倡导， （YEAH），旨在促进个人和集体愈合过程，以减少社区暴力风险 在12-17岁的黑人青年中。YEAH通过确定影响健康的因素来指导青年， 社区使用photovoice，这是一种参与式研究方法，使用摄影来检查 社区关注的问题，产生解决这些问题的想法，并将这些想法转化为社会行动。基于 我们的形成CBPR专注于社区暴力，我们已经调整了YEAH，以包括战略性的故事讲述 通过戏剧艺术作为反种族主义的社区暴力预防战略。我们将评估 YEAH对青少年亲社会行为和攻击行为的影响，评估种族认同和未来取向， 预防效果的调解人，并探讨潜在的社区一级的成果，包括男孩和女孩俱乐部 入学率和社区青年的批判意识以及政治和公民意识。这个项目 通过评估多层次战略的有效性，与NCIPC设定的暴力预防优先事项保持一致 减少不同形式的青年暴力的可能性。
