Abstract
Ethnic minority children living in urban communities that are socioeconomically disadvantaged are disproportionately exposed to violence. However, little is known about their perceptions of violence, day-to-day experiences of violence, and multifaceted risk factors for preventing their exposure to violence. Using a focus group method, this study explores minority children's definition of violence, daily exposure to violence, and perceived risk factors in the context of developing an effective violence prevention program. Findings from this study will help community practitioners and policymakers understand these children's lived experiences and provide insights for designing and implementing a community-based violence prevention program in disadvantaged urban communities.
