This webinar is part of a series hosted by the Joyce Foundation that focuses on firearms research commissioned by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 2019, Congress resumed funding firearms research through the CDC, and now the first funded projects are starting to produce new and important findings for the field.
Description:
Research suggests that HVIPs may effectively reduce the chances of patients experiencing violence again. During this webinar, panelists discussed the hospital-based violence intervention program (HVIP) model, and new findings that explore the brief hospital-based interventions and a regional approach to HVIP implementation. These findings suggest that brief hospital-based interventions and those with longer-term case management services both helped change patients’ attitudes related to violence and reduced the likelihood of experiencing violence again. To expand programs like these, the research shows that a regional model connecting and coordinating HVIPs through a technical assistance center can be beneficial.
Thank you to the panelists Dr. Ruth Abaya, Dr. Michel Aboutanos, and Dr. Nicholas Thomson. You can access their presentations here and here.
