Communities are not all created equal: Strategies to prevent violence affecting youth in the United States

Larry Cohen, Rachel Davis, Anna Realini

Date Published:  October 2016

Summary

This PI-authored article published in the Journal of Public Health Policy’s special issue on Violence and Health: Merging Evidence and Implementation details how comprehensive strategies to improve community conditions can reduce violence and promote health equity. It describes how PI tools and frameworks, used by our Urban Networks to Increase Thriving Youth (UNITY) cities, can be adapted for international application in multi-sector collaboration, influencing policy and legislation, and strengthening local violence prevention efforts.

The special issue also includes 10 articles by scholars and practitioners that outline ways to advance and deepen the conversation on effective global strategies and best local practices for preventing violence. See the related PI blog post titled, PI co-edits Journal of Public Health Policy special issue on violence prevention for further details.
