Summary
This project aims to estimate the impact of non-enforcement community-centered safety models (CCSMs) on community violence among youth and young adults, addressing the current lack of evidence on their effectiveness and operational factors.

What they want
The study will characterize CCSM operations in 15 US jurisdictions using an implementation science approach (Aim 1). It will then use an augmented synthetic control approach to estimate the overall and modality-specific impacts of CCSMs on community violence outcomes among youth and young adults (Aim 2). Finally, it will employ feature importance analysis with Bayesian additive regression trees to identify which CCSM operational factors drive effectiveness (Aim 3).
