SDRG Research Brief: Communities That Care Reduces Rural Adolescent Handgun Carrying

The Social Development Research Group (SDRG) periodically highlights our publications through a Research Brief. Our goal for this series is to share important research findings and draw attention to the outstanding work being done by SDRG researchers.

This brief summarizes an exciting article about the potential of the Communities That Care prevention system for reducing handgun carrying among rural adolescents. The research was led by the Firearm Injury & Policy Research Program (FIPRP) at the University of Washington. SDRG staff were involved in this research. We hope you find this Research Brief informative.
