NCT06455943 | Not Yet Recruiting

• 1 other identifier: THRIVE001
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 90
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to determine the impact of a hospital-based violence intervention program on a person's capacity to thrive and recurrent intentional injury. The aims of this study are:

• Established measure changes in positive psychology and clinical metrics
• A qualitative interview using thematic content analysis
• Plot the methodology proposed to measure the impact of THRIVE on subsequent injuries using administrative data sources

Conditions

Violence; Assault

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• To evaluate the impact of the HVIP on building personal capacity of youth who have experienced non-fatal violent injuries to thrive.

  To evaluate changes in thriving, substance use, and mental health, validated measures and qualitative measures will be used. Quantitative measures collected using validated instruments will provide objective measures of change over time; while context-specific and nuanced growth will be captured through a semi-structured interview.

  July 2024 - December 2025

• To pilot the methodology proposed to measure the impact of THRIVE on subsequent injuries within 1 year using administrative data sources

  After 1.5 years of enrolment in THRIVE, study participants will be deterministically linked. Linkage will provide a wealth of baseline characteristics (demographics, income/marginalization), injury characteristics (ICD-10 coding patterns which can be contrasted to THRIVE documentation), as well as the capacity to follow these linked patients administratively over time and identify subsequent ED presentations and admission across any hospital in Ontario.

  March - Sept 2026
