Youth violence is a public health problem that needs input from physician leaders to support efforts in their communities. By forming and supporting community coalitions, physicians can advocate for both their individual patients and their community in order to prevent youth violence. In this article, we review the definition, structure, and specific issues of community collaborative efforts in the area of youth violence prevention.
