Sponsor's own description

The investigators will conduct a cluster randomized trial of an intervention program that combines a hospital-based intervention, structured outreach program, and multi-agency attention. The goal of the study is to test the effect of this multi-component intervention on criminal activity, injury, substance abuse, mental health, quality of life, violent behavior, and death.

Investigators aim to enroll a total of 300 patients admitted to the Harborview Medical Center (HMC) for firearm-related injuries. Patients will be randomized to receive a multi-component intervention or treatment as usual. All participants will complete surveys at the time of study consent (baseline) and then at designated time points for 12 months post-consent. Study staff will routinely collect participant records from Washington State Patrol records, HMC medical records, Washington State trauma registry, Washington State Emergency Department Information Exchange, Administrative Office of the Courts, and vital records. The investigators will test the impact of the intervention against standard care. The hypothesis is that participants in the intervention group will see greater improvements in aforementioned outcomes than those in the control group.
