Youth Violence
The
following summary of interventions aimed at preventing youth
violence was written for America’s Promise, an
initiative supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, by
Arthur L. Kellermann, MD, MPH and Dawna S. Fuqua-Whitley, MA, of
the Emory Center for Injury Control at the Rollins School of
Public Health, Emory University, and Frederick P. Rivara, MD,
MPH, of the Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center at
the University of Washington. It was published by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in September, 1996. We include it here since it is a recent, up-to-date
review of this topic.
