New Evidence on HVIP Effectiveness: Implications for Philanthropy and Beyond

March 2 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free

Join this virtual briefing to discuss newly published evidence from Boston Medical Center’s Violence Intervention Advocacy Program (VIAP) and its implications for the future of hospital-based violence intervention programs (HVIPs) nationwide.

Co-hosted by the Health Alliance for Violence Intervention, the Fund for a Safer Future, and the Violence Intervention Advocacy Program (VIAP) at Boston Medical Center, this session will review and discuss a landmark study on HVIP effectiveness by Jonathan Jay et al in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The study found a 50% reduction in violent injury or involvement in violent crime, positioning HVIPs as one of several effective community violence intervention strategies.

Organizers welcome your participation to explore what this evidence means for funding, sustainability, and scaling impact.

  • Fatimah Loren Dreier, Executive Director, The HAVI
  • Rob Wilcox, CEO, Fund for a Safer Future
