Maria De Jesus & Carissa Hernandes: Generalized Violence as a Threat to Health and Well-Being
A Qualitative Study of Youth Living in Urban Settings in Central America’s “Northern Triangle”
El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras rank among the top 10 countries experiencing violence in the world, despite not being at war.
