Dyadic interviews were conducted with 32 youth ages 13-21 and their self-identified key adult supports to illuminate how adult supports help protect youth in communities impacted by high levels of violence. Interview transcripts were analyzed using thematic content analysis. Youth described choosing social interactions carefully, avoiding high-violence areas, and keeping busy with activities. Many youths discussed the necessity of minimizing contact with peers to avoid violence, resulting in isolation from friends and increased engagement with family at home. Adult supports reflected upon an intergenerational transfer of violence avoidance, safety planning, and coping strategies through sharing their own lived experiences. Dyads highlighted the need for intergenerational programming to address social isolation and build supportive social networks.
对 32 名 13-21 岁的青年及其自我认同的主要成年支持者进行了对偶访谈，以阐明成年支持者如何帮助保护受高水平暴力影响社区中的青年。使用主题内容分析对访谈记录进行了分析。青年们描述了如何谨慎选择社交互动，避免高暴力地区，并通过参加各种活动保持忙碌。许多青年讨论了尽量减少与同龄人接触以避免暴力的必要性，这导致他们与朋友隔离，在家中与家人的互动增加。成年支持者通过分享自己的生活经历，反思了避免暴力、制定安全计划和应对策略的代际传递。对偶组强调需要开展代际规划，以解决社会孤立问题并建立支持性社交网络。
