ClinConnect Summary

The Addressing Root Causes for Gun Violence Prevention (ARC-GVP) trial is focused on understanding how a specific summer employment program, called The T.R.I.G.G.E.R Project, can help reduce gun violence among young people in Washington D.C. This program aims to tackle the reasons behind youth aggression and firearm-related behaviors. The study is looking for answers about how participating in this program affects young people's attitudes and actions regarding violence and their involvement in positive activities.

To be eligible for this trial, participants should be youth in Washington D.C. who are currently taking part in The T.R.I.G.G.E.R Project. The program is open to all genders and includes young people aged between 13 and 25.
