AMERICAS HOMICIDE RATE IS AMONG THE HIGHEST IN THE WORLD, AND IT IS ONLY INCREASING: THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC SAW A RISE IN HOMICIDES, PARTICULARLY AMONG AFRICAN AMERICAN MEN. IT IS VITAL THAT CITIES WORK TO REDUCE VIOLENCE NOW. THE ADVANCE PEACE (AP) MODEL IS AN EVIDENCE-BASED GUN VIOLENCE INTERRUPTION STRATEGY THAT COMBINES STREET OUTREACH, CASE MANAGEMENT, MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT, EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT AND JOB TRAINING, AND OTHER SUPPORTS. IN 2022, ADVANCE PEACE PREVENTED 134 FIREARM INCIDENTS CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH, SAVING PARTNER CITIES $67268 MILLION. BY BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE MOST LIKELY TO BE INVOLVED IN GUN VIOLENCE, ADVANCE PEACE INTERRUPTS THIS CYCLE.

THE MIXED METHODS DESIGN WILL INCLUDE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA FROM A CUSTOMIZED SMARTPHONE APPLICATION DEVELOPED BY UC BERKELEY SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND COLLECTED BY PROGRAM STAFF.

CLEVELAND IS EXPERIENCING THE HIGHEST VIOLENT CRIME RATE IN DECADES. HOMICIDES INCREASED BY 38 PERCENT, AND SHOOTINGS INCREASED BY 40 PERCENT FROM 2019 (PRE-COVID) TO 2022 (POST-COVID). TO ADDRESS THIS INCREASE IN VIOLENT CRIME, PARTICULARLY GUN VIOLENCE, OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, TWO NONPROFIT COMMUNITY-BASED, BLACK-LED ORGANIZATIONS, THE CLEVELAND PEACEMAKERS ALLIANCE (PEACEMAKERS) AND THE BRENDA GLASS MULTIPURPOSE TRAUMA CENTER (TRAUMA CENTER), HAVE COLLABORATIVELY PROVIDED COMPREHENSIVE HOSPITAL-LINKED COMMUNITY VIOLENCE OUTREACH AND TRAUMA RECOVERY SERVICES TO THE HIGH-RISK VICTIMS OF GUN VIOLENCE AND THEIR FAMILIESTHOSE HOSPITALIZED FOLLOWING A GUNSHOT AND THEIR FAMILIES. CURRENT SERVICES TARGET BLACK YOUTH AGED 1524 RESIDING IN HIGHLY RACIALLY SEGREGATED, HIGH-RISK NEIGHBORHOODS. SERVICES ARE TRAUMA INFORMED, ARE EQUITY FOCUSED, AND INCORPORATE THE PERSPECTIVE OF VICTIMS OF GUN VIOLENCE AND THEIR FAMILIESWITHOUT MANDATED CONTACT WITH POLICE OR HOSPITAL SYSTEMS. IN RESPONSE TO LONG-STANDING CHALLENGES IN OUR COMMUNITY INTENSIFIED BY COVID, PEACEMAKERS AND TRAUMA CENTER HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND FOR SERVICES. MOREOVER, THE CITYS GREAT NEED FOR DIRECT SERVICES HAS MADE IT CHALLENGING TO FUND LARGE-SCALE, MULTIYEAR RESEARCH AND EVALUATION ACTIVITIES TO EVALUATE THE INTERVENTION. PEACEMAKERS AND THE TRAUMA CENTER, AND IN COLLABORATION WITH THE CRIMINOLOGY RESEARCH CENTER AT CLEVELAND STATE UNIVERSITY, SEEK FUNDING TO ENHANCE, DOCUMENT, AND ASSES THIS HOSPITAL-LINKED COMMUNITY VIOLENCE INTERVENTION. MORE SPECIFICALLY, WE ARE REQUESTING FUNDING TO: (A) ENHANCE AND EXPAND CAPACITY IN CVI SERVICE DELIVERY EFFORTS TO MEET INCREASING NEEDS IN OUR COMMUNITY DUE TO RISING GUN VIOLENCE; (B) DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A NEED ASSESSMENT, A PROCESS EVALUATION, AND AN IMPACT EVALUATION OF THE GREATER CLEVELANDS ONLY HOSPITAL-LINKED COMMUNITY VIOLENCE INTERRUPTION AND PREVENTION EFFORT (CATEGORY 1, COMMUNITY-BASED/TRIBAL ORGANIZATIONS); AND (C) ENHANCE PEACEMAKERS AND TRAUMA CENTERS CAPACITY TO COLLECT PERFORMANCE METRICS AND OUTCOME DATA AND CONDUCT ONGOING PROGRAM MONITORING AND EVALUATION. THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST FEDERAL AWARD FROM BJA TO DIRECTLY FUND SERVICES PROVIDED BY TWO CULTURALLY SPECIFIC COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS IN CLEVELAND.

THE GOALS OF PEACE FOR DCS WARD 8 LIFE TRANSFORMATION PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVE ARE TO REDUCE GUN VIOLENCE AND TRANSFORM THE LIVES OF THOSE AT HIGHEST RISK OF INVOLVEMENT IN VIOLENCE BY LAUNCHING WASHINGTON, D.C.S FIRST NEIGHBORHOOD-BASED LONG-TERM LIFE TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM IS FOCUSED ON INDIVIDUALS AT HIGHEST RISK OF BEING VICTIMS OR PERPETRATORS OF GUN VIOLENCE IN TWO DC WARD 8 COMMUNITIES WITH THE HIGHEST RATES OF GUN VIOLENCE.

WE PROVIDE LONG-TERM, INDIVIDUALIZED ENGAGEMENT; COMPREHENSIVE EVIDENCE-BASED WRAPAROUND PROGRAMMING; A ROBUST DATA TRACKING SYSTEM; ONGOING STRATEGIC COORDINATION; AND INDEPENDENT EVALUATION. ALL PROGRAMMING AND CARE OCCURS IN THE COMMUNITY THROUGH NEIGHBORHOOD HUBS AND IS DELIVERED BY A TEAM OF LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED PROFESSIONALS FOR UP TO 2 YEARS PER PARTICIPANT. PARTICIPANTS ARE CAREFULLY SCREENED FOR LEVEL OF RISK AND READINESS FOR TRANSFORMATION. RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THE AVERAGE AGE RANGE OF INDIVIDUALS IN DC MEETING THIS CRITERIA ARE 18-30 YEARS OLD. ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE SUGGESTS RISK FACTORS ARE INCREASING FOR YOUTH, SO PARTICIPANTS COULD POTENTIALLY BE YOUNGER THAN 18. WE WILL MAKE SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS TO SUPPORT THEIR SUCCESS. WE ENROLL COHORTS OF 20 PARTICIPANTS ANNUALLY, WITH THE GOAL OF REACHING 60 PARTICIPANTS BY THE END OF THE GRANT PERIOD. THIS INITIATIVE IS MODELED ON SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS LIKE READI AND CHICAGO CRED AND WILL INCORPORATE ROCAS REWIRE COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THEORY (CBT), A RESEARCH-BASED INTERVENTION TO SUPPORT HEALING AND BEHAVIOR CHANGE. KEY MEASUREMENTS TOWARD ACHIEVING OUR GOALS INCLUDE HOW MANY PARTICIPANTS STAY INVOLVED IN THE PROGRAM, DEMONSTRATE EFFORTS TOWARD BEHAVIOR CHANGE, KEEP FROM GETTING SHOT, AND STAY OUT OF JAIL, AS WELL AS HOW MANY MEDIATIONS, NON-AGGRESSION AGREEMENTS, AND PEACE AGREEMENTS ARE ESTABLISHED FOR NEIGHBORHOOD CREWS. RESEARCHERS FROM JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY AND THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND COLLEGE PARK ARE SERVING AS PARTNERS ON THIS PROJECT. A COMPANION EVALUATION APPLICATION UNDER NIJ SOLICITATIONEVALUATIONS OF OJP CVIPI, FY2023 IS BEING PREPARED BY OUR INDEPENDENT EVALUATION PARTNERS AT HOWARD UNIVERSITYS CENTER FOR EXCELLENCE FOR TRAUMA AND VIOLENCE PREVENTION.

TO IMPLEMENT THE PROMOTING RECONCILIATION IN IRAQ THROUGH JOURNALISM PROGRAM

A COMPREHENSIVE WEB-BASED PROGRAM TO HELP ADVANCED CANCER PATIENTS PLAN FOR END OF LIFE - 1 PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT 2 DESPITE RECENT ADVANCES IN CANCER CARE, MANY CANCER PATIENTS WILL ULTIMATELY DIE FROM THEIR DISEASE AS CANCER 3 IS THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH AMONG MEN AND WOMEN IN THE U.S. AS SUCH, MANY CANCER PATIENTS WILL 4 ULTIMATELY BE LEFT TO PLAN FOR A MULTITUDE OF END OF LIFE CARE NEEDS. TO DATE, MOST INTERVENTIONS HAVE FOCUSED 5 SOLELY ON ASSISTING CANCER PATIENTS WITH THEIR ADVANCE CARE PLANNING, NEGLECTING THE LARGE NUMBER OF OTHER TASKS 6 PATIENTS MUST COMPLETE TO GET THEIR AFFAIRS IN ORDER PRIOR TO END OF LIFE. MOST PATIENTS REPORT THAT WHAT MATTERS 7 MOST TO THEM IN PREPARING FOR THEIR END OF LIFE IS NOT ONLY ADVANCE CARE PLANNING, BUT ALSO RESOLVING EMOTIONAL, 8 RELATIONAL, AND SPIRITUAL ISSUES; NOT BEING A BURDEN TO THEIR FAMILY, AND HAVING THEIR FINANCIAL AFFAIRS IN ORDER. 9 DESPITE THE OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF TASKS THAT PATIENTS HAVE TO COMPLETE PRIOR TO THEIR END OF LIFE, THERE ARE 10 VERY LIMITED TOOLS OR RESOURCES TO EASILY GUIDE PATIENTS THROUGH THIS PROCESS. OUR PROPOSED WEB-BASED PROGRAM 11 INTERVENTION, WHICH UTILIZES THE GOAL-SETTING THEORY OF MOTIVATION AS A FRAMEWORK, IS DESIGNED TO GUIDE PATIENTS 12 THROUGH ALL OF THE NECESSARY TASKS NEEDED TO COMPREHENSIVELY PLAN FOR END OF LIFE IN A EASY TO FOLLOW CHECKLIST 13 WITH ASSISTANCE AND EXPLICIT DETAILS ON HOW TO COMPLETE EACH TASK. THE GOALS OF THIS STUDY ARE TO: (1) FIELD-TEST 14 THE WEB-BASED PROGRAM INTERVENTION AMONG CANCER PATIENTS USING “THINK ALOUD” EXERCISES, USABILITY TESTING 15 PROTOCOLS, AND AN ITERATIVE DESIGN APPROACH AND (2) EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY, ACCEPTABILITY, USABILITY, SATISFACTION, 16 USER ENGAGEMENT, AND PRELIMINARY EFFICACY OF THE FINALIZED VERSION OF THE WEB-BASED PROGRAM AMONG CANCER 17 PATIENTS TO IMPROVE PATIENTS’ LEVELS OF ENGAGEMENT IN END OF LIFE PLANNING (CHECKLIST OF COMPLETED ITEMS ACROSS 18 THE END OF LIFE PLANNING DOMAINS); PATIENTS’ DISTRESS AND EMOTIONAL, FINANCIAL, SOCIAL, AND SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING. TO 19 MEET THESE GOALS, WE WILL REFINE THE INTERVENTION BASED ON STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK FROM N=10 CANCER PATIENTS AND 20 N=10 CAREGIVERS TO REFINE THE WEB-BASED PROGRAM. NEXT, WE WILL ENROLL N=15 ADVANCED CANCER PATIENTS IN AN 21 OPEN TRIAL OF THE INTERVENTION TO EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY, ACCEPTABILITY, USABILITY, SATISFACTION, AND USER 22 ENGAGEMENT OF THE MODIFIED VERSION OF THE INTERVENTION. FINALLY, WE WE WILL RANDOMIZE N=50 CANCER PATIENTS TO 23 THE INTERVENTION GROUP AND N=50 CANCER PATIENTS TO THE CONTROL GROUP (USUAL CARE) AND ASSESS OUTCOMES AT 24 BASELINE AND 4 WEEKS POST-INTERVENTION TO DETERMINE THE PRELIMINARY EFFICACY OF THE INTERVENTION. GROUNDED IN 25 THE GOAL-SETTING THEORY OF MOTIVATION, THE PROPOSED RESEARCH TAKES THE NOVEL APPROACH OF UTILIZING DIGITAL 26 HEALTH PLATFORMS (E.G., WEB-BASED PROGRAM) TO ASSIST PATIENTS IN A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO END OF LIFE 27 PLANNING. UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH, WE EXPECT OUR CONTRIBUTION TO BE A FULLY 28 DEVELOPED AND TESTED INTERVENTION TAILORED TO CANCER PATIENTS THAT DEMONSTRATES FEASIBILITY, ACCEPTABILITY, 29 SATISFACTION, AND POTENTIAL EFFICACY AT IMPROVING ENGAGEMENT IN COMPREHENSIVE END-OF-LIFE CARE PLANNING.
