This article describes the development and contents of a training and outreach guide Connecting the Dots to Prevent Youth Violence: A Training and Outreach Guide for Physicians and Other Health Professionals (the Guide) on youth violence prevention for healthcare providers developed by the American Medical Association. The Guide, was developed to help translate recommendations made by the Commission for the Prevention of Youth Violence in their 2000 report, Youth and Violence: Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health: Connecting the Dots to Prevent Violence, into healthcare practice. The Guide, which will also be available in Spanish in early 2006, is structured as a speaker's kit and includes prepared speeches, case studies, issue briefs, and copies of screening tools and patient education materials from a variety of sources appropriate for use in the clinical setting. Results of a preliminary evaluation of the Guide indicate that the training can be effective in increasing providers' awareness about the problem of youth violence and encouraging them to incorporate into healthcare visits violence prevention activities such as screening youth for exposure to violence and educating patients and caregivers on strategies for reducing the risk for violence.
本文介绍了一份培训与推广指南《理清头绪预防青少年暴力：医生及其他健康专业人员培训与推广指南》（以下简称《指南》）的编制情况和内容，该指南由美国医学协会为医疗服务提供者制定，旨在预防青少年暴力。《指南》旨在将预防青少年暴力委员会在其2000年报告《青少年与暴力：医学、护理和公共卫生：理清头绪预防暴力》中提出的建议转化为医疗实践。《指南》将于2006年初推出西班牙语版本，其结构为演讲套装，包括演讲稿、案例研究、问题简报，以及来自各种适用于临床环境的筛查工具和患者教育材料的副本。对《指南》的初步评估结果表明，该培训能够有效地提高医疗服务提供者对青少年暴力问题的认识，并鼓励他们在医疗问诊中纳入预防暴力活动，如筛查青少年是否遭受暴力以及向患者和护理人员传授降低暴力风险的策略。
