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.

暴力影响了太多青少年的生活轨迹，暴力暴露发生率最高 集中于城市环境中的年轻人 响应 RFA-CE-22-013，对社区的严格评估 以团结为中心的预防社区暴力的方法（U01），本研究将通过集群来评估 随机对照试验，一种以社区为中心的新型干预措施的有效性，促进繁荣 和弹性，以减少社区暴力（类别 2）。我们将采用社区合作的方法。 实施社区复原力集体效能干预 (CRCEI)，让社区成员参与 关于繁荣、社区领导和组织社会变革的对话。 在社区内组织有关儿童和青少年蓬勃发展的意识预计将增加个人和青少年的成长 该提案来自 SAM- HSA 资助的匹兹堡社区复原力项目 (H79SM084931) 支持该项目的实施 这项以社区为中心的新颖方法将对这一创新预评估进行首次严格评估。 该项目设置在贫困人口集中的城市种族隔离社区。 我们抓住了宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡的优势，共同创造繁荣的环境。 儿童和青少年将为提高社区的复原力提供具体的、以行动为重点的战略 受社区暴力影响最大，并降低社区暴力发生率。 让不同的社区成员和合作者参与到具有高社区水平的城市社区中 首先参加六场关于“儿童成长”的指导性讨论，然后受邀参加 在为期 6 个月的集体效能干预中，促进社区层面的转型和社区 基于社区的项目。比较社区将接受健康教育课程作为控制干预措施。 将使用集群随机控制设计（20 个社区；30 个参与者/社区）。 评估 CRCEI 对邻里级集体效能和社区暴力发生率的有效性（目标 1)、个人层面的集体效能和暴力暴露（目标 2）。 将评估个人和社区层面，包括跟踪干预和成本的保真度 与实施计划（目标 3）相关的创新包括以可信赖的方式实施。 社区成员使用资产映射、培训设施确定的教堂和图书馆等环境 重点社区的人员进行能力建设和可持续性建设，并将社区成员融入 这将是对社区设计、以社区为中心的首次严格评估。 集体效能干预旨在影响个人和社区的集体效能水平， 预计将减少多种形式暴力的保护因素。
