Abstract

Although nations continue to remain involved in ongoing armed conflicts, the threat of direct exposure to violence for American children and youth is more likely to be from the interpersonal violence that occurs in homes, neighborhoods, and schools. Exposure to interpersonal violence has a very serious impact on most youth. Focusing on violence prevention remains a vital component of providing comprehensive health care for all youth.
