Abstract:
The problem of teenage spinal cord injury (SCI) secondary to gunshot wounds was observed in a model SCI system. By identifying one factor, 'risk taking', in which the system could intervene, a SCI prevention program was developed that has had major community attention. Hopefully, it will also meet the needs of other communities experiencing interpersonal violence among adolescents.
