Description:
To estimate the cause-effect relationship between exposure to firearm violence and subsequent perpetration of serious violence, we applied the analytic method of propensity stratification to longitudinal data on adolescents residing in Chicago, Illinois. Results indicate that exposure to firearm violence approximately doubles the probability that an adolescent will perpetrate serious violence over the subsequent 2 years.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bingenheimer, Jeffrey B -- Brennan, Robert T -- Earls, Felton J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 May 27;308(5726):1323-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Health Behavior and Health Education, 1420 Washington Heights, University of Michigan School of Public Health, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2029, USA. bartbing@umich.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15919997" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
