DES PLAINES, IL - A Boston violence intervention advocacy program is effectively engaging the client population that hospital-based violence intervention programs (HVIPs) have been designed to support. This is the conclusion of a study titled Boston Violence Intervention Advocacy Program: Challenges and Opportunities for Client Engagement and Goal Achievement, to be published in the March 2021 issue of
Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM), a journal of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM).
According to the study, HVIPs should consider which types of client needs prove most challenging to address and which novel strategies will engage vulnerable populations not typically targeted by intervention programs. These results speak to the difficulties of program attrition and the complexities of altering the life course for victims of violence.

International Journal of Health Planning and Management. Due to the crucial role of disease prevention in responding to and recovering from the COVID?19 pandemic, assessing the public health workforce remains critically important, said Heather Krasna, MS, EdM, assistant dean of career services at Columbia Mailman School, and lead author of the study. Fortunately, the job market for master s level public health graduates has not been as negatively impacted by the COVID?19 pandemic as compared with the broader job market. Alternatively, overall job postings nationally dropped by up to 30 percent
