The University of South Alabama Youth Violence Prevention Initiative supports basic and applied research concerning: (1) Identification of the causes of youth violence; (2) Development of research-based interventions that reduce the rate of youth violence; and (3) Testing of effectiveness of the violence prevention initiatives. An expert advisory panel, external to USA, evaluates research proposals developed by USA faculty and makes recommendations for funding. The initiative is multidisciplinary, supporting research from a number of different fields of study, and interdisciplinary, supporting projects that cross disciplinary batteries. This proposal request for funds is to support year three of the initiative (9/1/03 to 8/31/04). NCA/NCF
