Topic
New Research on Hospital-based Violence Intervention Programs
Date & Time
Selected Sessions:
Jun 16, 2025 01:00 PM
Description
During this webinar, the Executive Director of the HAVI and researchers from Virginia Commonwealth University will discuss the HVIP model, and new findings that explore the impact of brief hospital-based interventions and a regional approach to HVIP implementation. These findings suggest that brief hospital-based interventions and those with longer-term case management services both helped change patients’ attitudes related to violence and reduced the likelihood of experiencing violence again. To expand programs like these, the research shows that a regional model connecting and coordinating HVIPs through a technical assistance center can be beneficial.
