Abstract
The John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital Departments of Trauma and Emergency created a youth violence prevention curriculum for healthcare providers and staff with a community partnership of practitioners and professionals. A participatory, train-the-trainer approach was used to develop and present the curriculum. Participants were offered voluntary participation in the anonymous evaluation survey to determine their interests, work experience, expectations, knowledge, and skill development, use of, and improvement for the curriculum. Responses from 49 complete surveys were qualitatively analyzed with a response rate of 42% (49/116). The activity, and efforts of professionals and community members to engage and educate themselves through this violence prevention partnership, are an example of how healthcare providers can deploy resources to benefit communities as well as to respond to the needs of individual patients, particularly in the compelling area of youth violence prevention.
