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.

抽象的 青年暴力是美国的重要公共卫生优先事项 青少年（14-20岁），90％来自枪支暴力。突击伤害与重大长期有关 术语后果，包括重复致命/非致命攻击伤害，未来的枪支暴力，使用物质 疾病，心理健康问题和刑事司法参与。结局存在实质性差异， 居住在城市 社区。与种族主义和资源分配不平等相关的结构性因素是根源的 各种形式的暴力，尤其是人际枪支暴力。我们迫切需要 干预措施减少了暴力，尤其是城市青年的枪支有关的发病率和死亡率。我们的 拟议中心包括沿转化科学连续体的两种研究策略，以促进青年 预防枪支伤害。首先，我们计划进行3型混合动力，多站点的有效性 实施试验以测试青年现有循证实践的社区有效性 预防暴力。这项研究与研究区域2和＃3保持一致。其次，我们正在进行混合动力 1型现有青年参与枪支暴力的实施效应研究主要预防 程序。我们将使用多案例研究设计来研究个人和社区级别的成果 同时收集有关程序实施的数据。社区级警察事件和伤害数据 将进行分析。我们的合作伙伴社区和研究站点是Muskegon，密歇根州及其周边地区，以及 华盛顿特区。尽管这些位置在上下文上有所不同，但它们具有严重的种族隔离历史， 投资投资和经济不平等，正在经历青年枪支暴力的危机升级 杀人。这项研究将为社区和青年参与预防枪支暴力的工具包 被翻译成多种上下文。我们还将与两个青年咨询委员会合作（WashDC和密歇根州） 谁将提供有关我们的研究的反馈，并在线领导社区外展活动。我们的 拟议中心还包括与CDC资助的公共卫生领导力培训计划的合作 我们的训练核心。该核心旨在建立代表性不足的少数群体本科生的管道 和研究生以获得预防青年暴力行为的研究和实践经验 一般，尤其是枪支暴力。培训核心还包括发展后职位 该领域的研究人员。我们的研究团队包括公共卫生学科的教职员工，紧急情况 医学，精神病学以及社区和教育心理学，具有暴力和伤害方面的专业知识 预防包括多种环境中的枪支暴力预防和25年以上合作经验 与社区居民，组织，机构一起实施和评估社区一级暴力 预防策略。
