Abstract

Objective: This study assesses parents' literacy skills and evaluates how literacy levels influenced the effectiveness of a health communication intervention designed to improve safety knowledge in low-income, urban families., Methods: A total of n = 450 parents of children aged 4 to 66 months completed the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM) and participated in a randomized trial of an injury prevention intervention delivered via computer kiosk in a pediatric emergency department. A safety knowledge test was administered by telephone 2 to 4 weeks later., Results: More than one-third of parents were assessed by the REALM to have marginal (30%) or inadequate (8%) reading levels; the remaining 62% of parents had adequate reading levels. REALM scores were independently associated with knowledge gains for poison storage and smoke alarms., Conclusions: Participants reading level had an independent and significant effect on safety knowledge outcomes. Literacy level should be considered in all patient education efforts., (© The Author(s) 2015.)

Abstract

Objective: Despite widespread prevention efforts, youth violence persists in many urban communities. This investigation explores the unique perspectives and local capacities to address urban youth violence., Method: Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted with prominent neighborhood individuals (PNIs) from low-wealth neighborhoods that varied by risk for youth violence., Findings: Findings reveal examples of increased levels of social action in the designated low risk for youth violence neighborhoods. Similar activities were also present, but to a lesser extent, within the high-risk neighborhoods. Results illustrate how PNIs formally and informally share information and take action to address youth violence., Conclusion: PNIs are an often-overlooked resource in gaining local insight for addressing health issues, such as youth violence. The efforts identified exhibit expertise and culturally sensitive opportunities for working together to address youth violence. Understanding such dynamics is essential for informing the development of locally endorsed violence-prevention interventions.

Abstract

Youth violence is a significant public health problem. Although the relationship between neighborhood-level factors and urban youth violence is recognized, the specific mechanisms of this relationship are often unclear. Prominent neighborhood individuals were identified within four select low-income urban neighborhoods in Baltimore City. In-depth interviews were conducted to explore these individuals' perceptions of the relationship between social and structural neighborhood-level factors and urban youth violence. Employment opportunities, local businesses, trash management, vacant housing, and street lighting were perceived as important neighborhood factors influencing young people's experiences. The relationship between these neighborhood characteristics and the local illicit drug market and youth violence is highlighted. Results provide an enhanced understanding of the importance of using a participatory-based research approach and the mechanisms of the relationship between neighborhood-level factors and youth violence. Both are critical components in designing and implementing multilevel youth violence prevention efforts.
