PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This proposal responds to RFA-CE-20-006, Objective One, Funding Option B. Firearm violence is an urgent public health problem. Despite declines in homicide and other violent crime, firearms were involved in the crime-related deaths of more than 140,000 people in the United States from 2008 to 2018. Youth in the juvenile justice system are disproportionately affected by firearm violence. Many juvenile offenders become parents when young; their children are likely to be at significant risk for firearm involvement and victimization. Yet there are remarkably few data on how parents’ involvement with firearms, during their own adolescence and young adulthood, influences their children’s risk. We designed Next Generation, funded by the National Institute of Child Health, Human Development the National Institute of Justice, and other agencies to address this and other key omissions. Leveraging prospective data already collected on our original participants, Next Generation includes the first prospective study of how high-risk parents’ current and past involvement with firearms (ownership, perpetration of violence, and victimization) influences that of their adolescent children. This study, however, samples only one child per family. We propose that the CDC augment our intergenerational study of firearms to add siblings. We propose to add 532 interviews: 165 with siblings and 367 additional interviews with their parents and secondary caregivers. Total N of the proposed study of firearms would then be 1,585: 709 children plus 544 parents and 332 secondary caregivers. Funding from the CDC will allow us to address three aims: Aim 1: to examine patterns of firearm involvement focusing on patterns of concordance and discordance between siblings. Aim 2: to examine the influence of parents’ (G1) firearm involvement on their children’s involvement (G2), focusing on differences between siblings in this relationship. Aim 3: to identify risk and protective factors that explain within- and between-family differences. The proposed prospective study has several key features: (1) the sample will include enough parents with a history of involvement with firearms (including victimization and perpetration) to examine the influence on their children and differences between siblings; (2) the sample is composed predominantly of socioeconomically disadvantaged African Americans and Hispanics, groups that face the most grievous consequences of firearm violence; and (3) the design will provide multilevel data to identify the risk and protective factors that explain why one sibling is able to avoid firearm involvement while the other is not. Findings will guide the development and adaptation of preventive interventions for the highest risk families. We will provide data responding to the CDC’s priority of identifying strategies to decrease inappropriate access to and use of weapons by minors and to prevent lethal violence.

项目摘要/摘要 此提案对RFA-CE-20-006的回应，客观的一号，资金选项B.枪支暴力是 紧急的公共卫生问题。尽管凶杀和其他暴力犯罪有所下降，但涉及枪支 从2008年到2018年，美国超过14万人与犯罪有关的死亡。 少年司法系统受枪支暴力的影响不成比例。许多少年罪犯成为 年轻的父母；他们的孩子可能有枪支参与和胜利的巨大风险。 然而，关于父母如何参与枪支的数据，很少有数据在自己的青春期期间 和年轻人影响孩子的风险。我们设计了下一代，由国家资助 儿童健康研究所，人类发展国家司法研究所和其他机构解决 这和其他关键遗漏。利用我们的原始参与者已经收集的潜在数据，接下来 一代包括关于高风险父母的当前和过去参与的首次前瞻性研究 枪支（所有权，暴力犯罪和胜利）影响其青春期儿童。 但是，这项研究每个家庭只有一个孩子。我们建议CDC增加我们的 枪支的代际研究增加了兄弟姐妹。我们建议添加532次访谈：165个兄弟姐妹和 367与父母和次要护理人员进行其他访谈。拟议研究的总N 然后，枪支将为1,585：709个孩子，以及544个父母和332名二级护理人员。来自 疾病预防控制中心将使我们能够解决三个目标：目标1：检查枪支参与模式的重点 兄弟姐妹之间的一致性和不一致的模式。目标2：检查父母的影响（G1） 枪支参与孩子的参与（G2），重点是兄弟姐妹之间的差异 关系。目标3：确定在家庭内部和家庭中解释的风险和保护因素 差异。拟议的前瞻性研究具有多个关键特征：（1）样本将包括足够的 有参与枪支的历史（包括胜利和犯罪），以检查 对孩子的影响和兄弟姐妹之间的差异； （2）样品主要由 面对最痛苦的团体，受到社会经济困扰的非裔美国人和西班牙裔的群体 枪支暴力的后果； （3）设计将提供多级数据以确定风险和 保护性因素解释了为什么一个兄弟姐妹能够避免枪支参与，而另一个兄弟却没有枪支。 调查结果将指导最高风险家庭的预防干预措施的发展和适应。 我们将提供响应疾病预防控制中心的优先级的数据，以识别策略以减少不适当的访问 用于未成年人并使用武器，并防止致命暴力。
