Mississippi Violence Injury Prevention (VIP) Program

This clinical trial is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of three interventions aimed at preventing violence and supporting those affected by it. Over next three years, the impact of these interventions on key areas will be measured, including the incidence of firearm injuries, the recovery of victims, the occurrence of retaliation and re-injury, and health economics. The interventions are developed based on data collected from a comprehensive needs assessment, community summit, retrospective medical chart reviews, and focus group sessions. The defined interventions are as follows: Intervention A - Integration of an existing community-based intervention program with Hospital services intervention B - Unrestricted Cash Assistance Intervention C - Mobile Community Support Services Additionally, the investigators will implement a detailed violence-focused survey for firearm survivors at the time of study enrollment. Follow-up is planned at 3,6 and 12 months. The results of this trial (including analyses of firearm injury rates, recovery outcomes, retaliation/re-injury occurrences, and economic data) will be shared with the affected communities and stakeholders to promote ongoing improvement and support.
