ClinConnect Summary

The trial titled "Forging Hopeful Futures to Reduce Youth Violence" is studying a special program designed to help young people, aged 13 to 19, prevent violence and improve their coping and communication skills. This program focuses on important social issues like race, gender, and economic fairness. By participating, teens will have the opportunity to learn how to handle conflicts and express themselves better, all while being part of a supportive community.

To join the study, participants must be between 13 and 19 years old, speak English, and either live, go to school, or use facilities in certain neighborhoods involved in the trial. Participants will be asked to provide their contact information for follow-up. The program is currently looking for volunteers, and it's a chance for young people to gain valuable skills while contributing to important research on reducing violence in their communities.
