Study Details

Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Programs (HVIPs) affiliated with trauma centers in the US often focus on individual behavior modification for reduction in re-victimization. There is a lack of reproducible evidence that has demonstrated effectiveness, given the exclusion of addressing inequities in the Social and Structural Determinants of Health (SSDOH), often the root causes of violent injury and preventable homicide. The study investigators created a Medical Legal Partnership (MLP) to partner with an existing HVIP. This novel program offers beside legal assistance to address the SSDOH. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the HVIP-MLP program in improving perceived stress, violence-related outcomes, legal needs, health-related quality of life, and PTSD symptoms.
