Violence impacts the life trajectories of far too many adolescents, with the highest incidence of violence exposure concentrated among youth in urban settings. In response to RFA-CE-22-013, Rigorous Evaluation of Commu- nity-Centered Approaches for the Prevention of Community Violence (U01), this study will evaluate, via a cluster- randomized controlled trial, the effectiveness of a novel community-centered intervention that promotes thriving and resiliency to reduce community violence (CATEGORY 2). Using a community-partnered approach, we will implement a Community Resiliency Collective Efficacy Intervention (CRCEI) to engage community members in dialogue on thriving, community leadership, and organizing for social change. Facilitating discussion and con- sensus organizing within neighborhoods about child and youth thriving is expected to increase individual and neighborhood levels of collective efficacy and reduce community violence. The proposal emerges from a SAM- HSA-funded community resiliency project in Pittsburgh (H79SM084931) that supports implementation of this novel community-centered approach. This study will provide the first rigorous evaluation of this innovative pre- vention approach. The project is set in urban, racially-segregated neighborhoods with concentrated disad- vantage in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We hypothesize that opportunities to co-create thriving environments for children and youth will provide a concrete, action-focused strategy for increasing resiliency in neighborhoods most impacted by community violence and reducing community rates of violence. The proposed project will engage diverse community members and collaborators in urban neighborhoods with high levels of community violence to first participate in six guided discussions about ‘child thriving’ followed by an invitation to participate in a 6-month-long collective efficacy intervention that promotes neighborhood-level transformation and a com- munity-based project. Comparison neighborhoods will receive health education sessions as a control interven- tion. A cluster-randomized controlled design (20 neighborhoods; 30 participants/neighborhood) will be used to assess effectiveness of CRCEI on neighborhood-level collective efficacy and rates of community violence (Aim 1), and individual-level collective efficacy and violence exposure (Aim 2). Implementation facilitators and barriers across individual and neighborhood level will be assessed, including tracking fidelity to intervention and costs associated with program implementation (Aim 3). Innovations of this project include implementing in trustworthy settings such as churches and libraries identified by community members using asset mapping, training facilita- tors from focus neighborhoods to build capacity and sustainability, and integrating community members into collaborative team science. This will be the first rigorous evaluation of a community-designed, community-cen- tered collective efficacy intervention intended to impact individual and neighborhood levels of collective efficacy, protective factors that are expected to reduce multiple forms of violence.

暴力影响太多青少年的生活轨迹，暴力暴露事件最高 集中于城市环境中的青年。为了响应RFA-CE-22-013，严格的评估 以Nity为中心的预防社区暴力的方法（U01），本研究将通过集群评估 随机对照试验，以社区为中心的新型干预措施的有效性，促进蓬勃发展 以及降低社区暴力的弹性（第2类）。使用社区合作的方法，我们将 实施社区弹性集体效力干预（CRCEI），以使社区成员参与 关于蓬勃发展，社区领导和组织社会变革的对话。促进讨论和促进 在社区内组织有关儿童和青少年繁荣的社区组织将增加个人和 集体效率的邻里水平并降低社区暴力。该提议是从Sam提出的 匹兹堡的HSA资助的社区弹性项目（H79SM084931）支持实施此项 新颖的以社区为中心的方法。这项研究将对这种创新的预先进行第一次严格的评估 发条方法。该项目设定在城市，种族隔离的社区，集中灾难 - 在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡有利。我们假设有机会共同创造蓬勃发展的环境 儿童和青少年将提供一种具体的，以动作为中心的策略，以提高社区的弹性 受社区暴力的影响最大，并降低了社区的暴力率。拟议的项目将 在具有高水平社区的城市社区中吸引潜水员社区成员和合作者 首次参加有关“繁荣的孩子”的六次指导讨论，然后邀请参加 在长达6个月的集体效率干预措施中，促进了社区级别的转型和综合 基于市政的项目。比较社区将接受健康教育课程作为控制干预 - tion。群集随机的受控设计（20个社区； 30个参与者/社区）将用于 评估CRCEI对邻里水平集体效率和社区暴力率的有效性（AIM 1）以及个人级别的集体效率和暴力暴露（AIM 2）。实施促进者和障碍 将评估个人和社区层面，包括跟踪干预和成本的忠诚度 与程序实施相关（AIM 3）。该项目的创新包括实施可信赖 社区成员使用资产映射，培训facilita-识别的教堂和图书馆等设置 从重点社区到建立能力和可持续性，并将社区成员融入 协作团队科学。这将是对社区设计的，社区范围的首次严格评估 旨在影响集体效率的个人和邻里水平的集体效率干预措施， 预期减少多种暴力的保护因素。
