Zusammenfassung: | Ethnic minority children living in urban communities that are socioeconomically disadvantaged are disproportionately exposed to violence. However, little is known about their perceptions of violence, day-to-day experiences of violence, and multifaceted risk factors for preventing their exposure to violence. Using a focus group method, this study explores minority children's definition of violence, daily exposure to violence, and perceived risk factors in the context of developing an effective violence prevention program. Findings of this study will help community practitioners and policy makers understand these children's lived experiences and will provide insights to design and implement a community-based violence prevention program in disadvantaged urban communities. |
