A strong literature on hospital-based violence intervention programs has developed over the years. This page features important public training materials, research articles, and other publications. Additional materials are available to HAVI members.
To begin a program to reduce risk factors associated with violent injury, a comprehensive approach that addresses mental health and social determinants of health is critical.
Part two of a two part series on trauma-informed care focusing in the practice of trauma-informed care.

This study's objectives were to determine whether, and how, prior ED visit history distinguishes assault-injured youth from unintentionally injured youth.
This technical package represents a select group of strategies based on the best available evidence to help communities and states sharpen their focus on prevention activities with the greatest potential to prevent youth violence and its consequences.
Violent injury in the USA continues to represent a major public health issue. As reported this year in the American Journal of Medicine, we are 10 times more likely to be killed from violence in the USA than in any other developed country and the rate of gun-related murder is 25 times higher than 22 other high-income countries.
We describe how an integrated knowledge translation (KT) process was used to develop an ED violence intervention program (EDVIP) for youth affected by violence.
In this commentary, we describe how hospital-based violence intervention programs (HVIPs) work to translate research into practice.
In this article, we describe the panel model and present preliminary data on participants' perceptions of the process.
The Trauma Response Team was established in 2010, in collaboration with the Police Department, health care institutions, and emergency response teams and with the research support of Syracuse University faculty.
We hypothesized that the HVIP at our urban trauma center is a cost-effective means for reducing violent injury recidivism.
This study conducts a cost-benefit analysis simulation to estimate the savings an HVIP might produce in healthcare, criminal justice, and lost productivity costs over 5 years in a hypothetical population of 180 violently injured patients, 90 of whom received HVIP intervention and 90 of whom did not.
This brief outlines the potential for collaboration between HVIPs and Cure Violence model programs that offer street outreach and violence interruption.
This is a paper outlining (1) what is youth violence (2) a replication guide (3) a public health approach to violence.
This handbook is a resource for individuals and organizations who want to start a hospital-based violence intervention program, as well as emerging and established programs across the country.
This book reflects and contributes to an interdisciplinary public health approach towards youth violence prevention that involves a three-step process: 1) identify and describe the problem; 2) develop and evaluate interventions to prevent the problem; and 3) implement those interventions in the community.
