title: Changing lifestyles which result in violent injury.
abstract: A study by Mount Sinai Hospital, and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Chicago found that young victims of violence can change their lifestyles to avoid becoming repeat visitors to emergency departments (EDs) for treatment of gunshot wounds, stabbings, and other injuries. Mount Sinai is located on the city's west side that saw 29 murders and 900 incidents of aggravated assault or battery in 1999.
