TL;DR
Assessment of the exposure to violence of a representative sample of children living in an inner-city public housing development in this low-income community confirms the results from older clinic- and school-based convenience samples.
Abstract
These data, which describe a representative sample of children from an inner-city housing project, confirm the results from older clinic- and school-based convenience samples. In this low-income community, children are frequently exposed to deadly violence. In contrast with other reports, girls here are not spared.
