Hospital-based youth violence prevention programs are crucial. A Systematic Screening and Assessment (SSA) methodology identified promising programs, with three ready for rigorous evaluation to improve youth health outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Healthcare Management
- Violence Prevention
Background:
- Youth violence is a significant public health concern.
- Hospital-based programs for youth violence prevention are scarce.
- Effective identification of existing programs is needed for evaluation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the Systematic Screening and Assessment (SSA) methodology.
- To identify hospital-based youth violence prevention (HBYVP) programs.
- To assess program readiness for rigorous evaluation.
Main Methods:
- Utilized 2017 American Hospital Association (AHA) data to find trauma centers with HBYVP programs.
- Conducted environmental scans and key informant interviews.
- Employed expert review panels for evaluability assessment (EA).
Main Results:
- Identified 383 hospital-based violence prevention programs.
- Screened 15 youth-focused programs as promising and evaluable.
- Determined 3 programs possessed the necessary infrastructure for rigorous evaluation.
Conclusions:
- The SSA methodology effectively identifies evaluable HBYVP programs.
- Streamlined outreach and expert panels enhance project success.
- Implementing and evaluating tailored HBYVP programs can improve youth health outcomes.
