Substance Use and Violent Injury among Youth in an Urban ED- Services & Outcomes
Specific aims are: (1) To describe characteristics of youth (ages 14-24) who report illicit drug use presenting to an urban ED for an acute violent injury; (2) To identify the trajectories of participants’ interactions with health services during the two years following their ED visit and the key characteristics associated with types of service use (substance use treatment; mental health; medical/ ED) and barriers to these services; (3) To measure two-year outcomes for this cohort and to identify key socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of youth with drug use, who have poor outcomes in the two years after ED visit for intentional injury and other medical care.

School Violence in the Media
The goal of this project is to expand on NCIPC’s knowledge of how school violence in portrayed in local news broadcasts and what the media says about prevention of violence in the school setting. With this new information, existing NCIPC materials will be revised and new documents for dissemination among school leaders and communication professionals will be developed. A dissemination plan targeting the individuals that are most influential before, during, and after a violent incident in the school setting will also be created.

Using the news media to disseminate booster seat information to the American public: How Police interact with the media and how can we improve it.
This proposed study will attempt to codify the process of police interaction with the local news media following motor vehicle crashes with specific attention being paid to the issue of booster seat usage. This will then lead to an understanding of the perceptions and beliefs of police officers regarding their potential role as media spokespeople for prevention following an MVC and to develop a web-based tool that may facilitate the interaction between police and the local news media.

Flint Youth Violence Prevention Center
Pilot Project: Brief Emergency Department Intervention. The specific aims of the Center are to: 1) build the scientific infrastructure to support the development of community-wide youth violence prevention interventions; 2) promote interdisciplinary strategies that foster collaboration; 3) work with community members to address youth violence prevention; 4) institutionalize violence prevention in health provider practice and training; and 5) develop an evaluation plan and surveillance system to monitor progress. The pilot project will adapt an existing alcohol related intervention in the Emergency Department for youth violence prevention. The web-based intervention will be designed to include an interactive component addressing violence prevention. The web-site program content will be based on risk and resiliency factors associated with violence and will include connections between alcohol use and violence, as well as violence not associated with alcohol use.

Cocaine & Chest Pain in the ED: Services and Outcomes
The specific aims of the study are: 1) To develop a comprehensive portrait of a consecutive cohort of cocaine users presenting to the ED with chest pain. 2. To identify specific locations where study participants interact with the health service system in the year following their ED visit and to identify the key patient characteristics associated with types of service use. 3. To identify access barriers to engaging in treatment and use of other services including primary care. 4. To measure one-year outcomes for this cohort and to identify key socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of cocaine-using individuals associated with outcomes in the year after their ED visit for chest pain.
