DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funding is being requested for the Johns Hopkins Center for the Prevention of Youth Violence (JHCPYV) to implement a multifaceted strategy to reduce youth violence in the Lower Park Heights community of Baltimore in collaboration with the Park Heights Renaissance (PHR), Inc., other community organizations and residents, Baltimore City Public Schools, other service providers and governmental agencies. The proposed center includes faculty affiliated with the Johns Hopkins Schools of Public Health, Medicine, Nursing, Education, and Arts and Sciences. The JHCPYV employs a multi-sectored, public health framework and developmental and ecological perspectives towards understanding and preventing youth violence. The proposed continuum of interventions will deploy a Safe Streets (CeaseFire) intervention to provide outreach to high-risk youth, mediate potentially violent conflicts, and promote community-wide social norms that eschew violence. This collaborative effort will be linked with complementary evidence-based programs in the schools to prevent bullying, and promote safe and supportive environments, social-emotional learning, and positive youth development in order to prevent violence. We will foster a collaborative partnership which draws upon the varied expertise of Center faculty, staff from city agencies, community-based organizations, parents, and youth. The Center also proposes to expand and enhance school-based services in another community so we can contrast the outcomes in a community receiving a multifaceted community and school intervention with one only targeting schools and one that will not receive special enhancements. We will use a variety of data sources on the physical and social environment to identify and remedy conditions that facilitate violence, including problem alcohol outlets and abandoned houses as well as positive social interactions. Data will be collected from police and school records, surveys of middle-school children, as well as a proposed survey of randomly sampled youth in the three communities with similarly high baseline rates of youth violence. The overall goals of the Center are to 1) Create and sustain an administrative infrastructure to support implementation and evaluation activities, 2) Create, implement, and evaluate a multifaceted, evidence-based approach to youth violence prevention in a high-risk Baltimore community, and 3) Integrate training activities for early career researchers, educators, practitioners, community residents, and youth in youth violence prevention to complement the implementation and evaluation activities of the JHCPYV. The large number of multidisciplinary prevention researchers and several pre- and post-doctoral training programs at Johns Hopkins that address violence prevention provide an outstanding environment to train and mentor early career researchers, fellows, students, and community members in youth violence prevention. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Johns Hopkins Center for the Prevention of Youth Violence uses a multifaceted, evidence-based approach to prevent youth violence emphasizing community-based and school initiatives, disseminates information about prevention, and prepares researchers and community collaborators for success.

描述(由申请人提供)： 正在为约翰霍普金斯预防青年暴力中心申请资金，以便与公园高地复兴公司、其他社区组织和居民、巴尔的摩市公立学校、其他服务提供者和政府机构合作，实施一项多方面的战略，减少巴尔的摩下公园高地社区的青年暴力。拟议的中心包括隶属于约翰霍普金斯大学公共卫生、医学、护理、教育和艺术与科学学院的教职员工。JHCPYV采用了多部门公共卫生框架以及发展和生态观点，以了解和预防青少年暴力。拟议的连续干预将部署安全街道(停火)干预，以向高危青年提供外联，调解潜在的暴力冲突，并促进全社区避免暴力的社会规范。这一合作努力将与学校中基于证据的补充计划联系起来，以防止欺凌行为，并促进安全和支持性环境、社会情感学习和积极的青年发展，以防止暴力。我们将促进合作伙伴关系，利用中心教职员工、城市机构工作人员、社区组织、家长和青年的不同专业知识。该中心还建议在另一个社区扩大和加强校本服务，以便我们可以将接受多方面社区和学校干预的社区的结果与只针对学校和不会得到特别增强的社区的结果进行比较。我们将使用各种关于物质和社会环境的数据来源来确定和补救助长暴力的条件，包括问题酒精销售点和废弃的房屋以及积极的社会互动。数据将从警察和学校记录、对中学生的调查以及对三个青少年暴力基线比率同样高的社区随机抽样的青少年拟议的调查中收集。该中心的总体目标是：1)建立和维持一个行政基础设施，以支持实施和评估活动；2)在巴尔的摩一个高风险社区创建、实施和评估预防青少年暴力的多方面、循证的方法；3)整合针对早期职业研究人员、教育工作者、从业者、社区居民和青年的预防青少年暴力的培训活动，以补充青年暴力联合方案的实施和评估活动。约翰霍普金斯大学大量的多学科预防研究人员以及几个针对暴力预防的博士后和博士后培训项目为培训和指导早期职业研究人员、研究员、学生和社区成员预防青少年暴力提供了一个出色的环境。 公共卫生相关性：约翰·霍普金斯预防青少年暴力中心采用多方面、以证据为基础的方法来预防青少年暴力，强调基于社区和学校的倡议，传播有关预防的信息，并使研究人员和社区合作者为成功做好准备。
