CSDE Affiliates Kristian Jones  (Social Work) and Ali Rowhani-Rahbar (Epidemiology) recently published a study in Prevention Science that examined the components of mentorship interventions in community violence intervention (CVI) programs used to prevent firearm violence among vulnerable young people, particularly Black youth who are at high risk for firearm homicide in the USA. The research team conducted interviews with mentors and program administrators of CVI programs in Washington State to examine their insights on the components of mentoring interventions that could work towards preventing firearm violence. Jones, Rowhani-Rahbar and co-authors then used constructivist grounded theory to develop a framework to capture these components.
