Community Safety Evaluation Lab (CSE-Lab)

The CSE-Lab is leading a portfolio of projects focused on community safety ranging from school safety, online behaviors, and evaluation of violence prevention programs. Violence is of public health concern, and disciplines such as social science, epidemiology, behavioral science and risk-communication, commonly used to tackle public health problems, can successfully contribute to addressing violence and improve community safety.

The CSE-Lab helps inform the development of policies and interventions based on sound scientific evidence on the nature, causes, and consequences of violence, with a special focus on youth online behaviors, youth mental health and school personnel’s knowledge and skills to manage situations that may lead youth to acts of self harm or harm to others.
