The investigators propose a three part community-based strategy to define the epidemiology and causal factors of adolescent vilent injury. Part A will establish a comprehensive, citywide injury surveillance system to identify adolescence 10-19 years of age with injuries resulting in a hospital emergency department visit, hospital admission, or death. Primary outcome variables will include external cause of injury, nature of injury, intentionality and potential lethality of injury, length of hosptialization, and location of occurrence. Part B will involve interviews of adolescent victims of injury. The purpose will be to reconstruct the sequence of events leading to injury to identify potential intermediary markers for serious violent injury and points for intervention. Part C will determine adolescent understanding and interpretation of violence and define potential interventions. Focus groups will be conducted with adolescents in four community sites. The information obtained in Parts A, B, and C will define rates, associated risks and causal factors for adolescent injuries to guide the design of specific targeted community-based interventions.
