Characteristics Associated With Community Violence Prevention Programs in US Hospitals: A Cross-Sectional Survey Analysis

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to identify the hospital and county-level factors associated with the presence of community violence prevention programs (CVPPs) in U.S. hospitals. Their analysis revealed that CVPPs are more commonly found in larger, nonprofit, urban hospitals with greater resources, while the presence of these programs was not significantly linked to county-level homicide rates. This suggests a potential misalignment between where CVPPs are located and the areas with the greatest need for such interventions.
