Recovery Legal Care Clinical Trial for Firearm and Traumatic Injuries

This study is looking at how to best help people who have experienced violent injuries like gunshot wounds or stabbings. It compares two approaches: the standard Violence Recovery Program (HVIP) support, and an enhanced version called Recovery Legal Care. Recovery Legal Care adds legal support to address health-related legal needs and help with public benefits, aiming to tackle the root causes of violence. The main goal is to see if Recovery Legal Care can reduce stress for participants. You might be able to join if you are 14 years or older, received treatment for a violent injury at the University of Chicago Trauma Center, and can provide consent. The study plans to enroll 500 people, but its current status is unclear.
