He will conduct a concurrent evaluation of the processes used by providers to identify children at risk for violence, evaluating the suggested protocols for efficiency and usability by the physician and examining the satisfaction of the patients and providers with the tools. He will validate the screening criteria to ensure they are identifying families at high risk for interpersonal injury by comparing the risk factors for those children with injuries to those without. Finally, he will develop a violence prevention training effort based on the results of the HCHP studies that will be designed to be used in Boston's Neighborhood Health Clinics.
