Abstract
This case study describes the experience of the Massachusetts Medical Society Violence Prevention Program. Beginning in 1996, this program developed materials to support physicians who wanted to incorporate violence prevention into primary care and urgent care practice. With technical assistance from the Harvard Youth Violence Prevention Center, the society produced parent information cards in English and Spanish, a clinical guide, and online training resources. Orders have been received from around the country and from community-based organizations and local governments. The success of this project illustrates the general interest in authoritative and useable violence prevention information.
