This form of violence involves youth and young adults between the ages of 10 and 24 years who either intentionally use physical force or power to threaten or harm others or are victims of violence perpetrated by other youth.1,2 The consequences of youth violence include homicides, injuries requiring medical attention, psychological trauma, poor development and deprivation, and impact peers, families, schools, and entire communities.3,4 Exposure to youth violence has been associated with the development of health-risk behaviors such as alcohol and drug use, smoking and unsafe sexual practices; and associated with many adult forms of violent behavior including perpetration of child maltreatment, sexual violence, intimate partner violence, and self-harming behaviors through shared risk and protective factors.5
