Submission – Office of the Secretary – Minority Youth Violence Prevention II
(MYVP II): Integrating Social Determinants of Health and Community Policing
Approaches MP-YEP-17-001; April 4, 2017
Purpose:
Minority Youth Violence Prevention II (MYVP II) is
intended to identify innovative approaches to significantly reduce the
prevalence and impact of youth violence among racial and ethnic minority and/or
disadvantaged at-risk youth. MYVP
II will support project interventions tailored to at-risk racial and ethnic
minority and/or disadvantaged youth (ages 12-18 years at the start of the
project) and requires that a cohort of no fewer than 50 at risk youth
participate throughout the project.
It requires a coordinated, multi-discipline approach, including at a
minimum a public health agency, a local school and/or school district, and a law
enforcement agency, as well as an institution of higher education.
These approaches should address: public health, education, and public
safety concerns; disparities in access to public health services; social
determinants of health; and risk and protective factors; and should serve and
track the cohort of project participants and comparison groups members over a
four year period.
Funding
Amount/Period: $325,000-$425,000
per year for a four year
period.
