As part of U-M’s ongoing collaboration with Hurley Medical Center in Flint, a two-year study finds that teens and young adults who had been seen in the ER for an assault-related injury were nearly twice as likely as their peers to wind up back in the ER for other violence-related injuries.
It’s the first time this issue has been studied by interviewing and reviewing medical records of patients over time, rather than looking back at medical records – which makes the finding more reliable.
