Violence Prevention Databases
The Public Health Data & Training Center is responsible for maintaining two databases related to violence prevention for Life Outside of Violence (LOV), the Hospital-based Violence Intervention Program.
Oversight of these data is provided by a committee of the STL-HVIP body, and are available to researchers and LOV program evaluators by way of an application process.
STL-HVIP
A repository of clinical information on all hospital visits made for violent injuries from all four level-one trauma centers in the region
LOV
A program facilitated by case workers designed to prevent recidivism for violent injuries at the four participating hospitals.
Completion of these forms does not guarantee access to the requested data.
