Methods: The study was set in 8 urban, high-violence, racially segregated, and economically disadvantaged neighborhoods in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Community partners and researchers selected 4 intervention sites based on perceived need and appropriateness. We then used participatory propensity score matching to select 4 comparison sites, which receive health education sessions in lieu of the CRCEI. The study assesses the impact of the CRCEI on participant-level collective efficacy and exposure to community violence (aim 1), community-level collective efficacy, and incidence of community violence (aim 2) via several data sources, including pre- and postsurveys with participants and community members, quantitative and qualitative data from observations and interviews, and secondary neighborhood-level data (eg, violence incidents and poverty rate). Data for aim 1 were collected from February 2023 to January 2025, and data for aim 2 were collected from September 2022 to May 2025. We complemented this impact analysis with an ethnographic process evaluation, which tracks fidelity and costs, describes implementation, and identifies facilitators and barriers across the intervention sites (aim 3).
