Resumen
COOLEY-STRICKLAND, Michele et al. Effects of youth's exposure to community violence: the MORE project. Psychosocial Intervention [online]. 2011, vol.20, n.2, pp.131-148. ISSN 2173-4712. https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/in2011v20n2a2.
Research on chronic community violence exposure focuses on ethnic minority, impoverished, and crime-ridden communities while treatment and prevention focuses on the perpetrators of the violence, not on the youth who are its direct or indirect victims. School-based treatment and preventive interventions are needed for children at elevated risk for exposure to community violence. This paper describes The Multiple Opportunities to Reach Excellence (MORE) Project, a longitudinal, community epidemiological study currently being fielded to better understand the impact of children's chronic exposure to community violence on their emotional, behavioral, substance use, and academic functioning with an overarching goal to identify malleable risk and protective factors which can be targeted in preventive and intervention programs.
