This study is looking at whether a program called "Bridging the Gap" can help reduce gun violence in adults who have been injured by violence. "Bridging the Gap" combines support while you're in the hospital with help in your community after you leave. Researchers want to see if people who receive "Bridging the Gap" have less firearm-related violence, re-injury, or death compared to those who don't. You can join if you're 18 or older, speak English, and were treated in the hospital for a violence-related injury, like a gunshot wound, and live in the Richmond City area or neighboring counties. The study is currently unclear about its status.
