About

The goal of this observational study is to determine the impact of a hospital-based violence intervention program on a person's capacity to thrive and recurrent intentional injury. The aims of this study are:

1. To evaluate the impact of the HVIP on building personal capacity of youth who have experienced non-fatal violent injuries to thrive using:

   • Established measure changes in positive psychology and clinical metrics
   • A qualitative interview using thematic content analysis

2. Plot the methodology proposed to measure the impact of THRIVE on subsequent injuries using administrative data sources

Participants will complete surveys, participate in a semi-structured interview, and have their rate of recurrent intentional injury tracked over time.

Researchers will compare the rates of intentional reinjury between participants in the THRIVE program and those who present at other hospitals with similar injuries to see if there is a difference in the rate of recurrent intentional injury a 1, 5, and 10 years.
