The current study addresses the public health problem <strong>of</strong> violence exposure among homeless<br />
youth. We will test an intervention that aims to reduce revictimization among homeless<br />
youth by focusing on youth’s abilities to detect and respond to potentially dangerous<br />
situations and people, referred to as risk detection. The goals <strong>of</strong> this project are: to develop a<br />
manualized intervention for reducing homeless youths’ street victimization; to test the<br />
feasibility <strong>of</strong> providing this intervention to a sample <strong>of</strong> homeless youth in <strong>Denver</strong>; and to<br />
determine preliminary outcomes associated with the intervention. Role: co-PI with Kim<br />
