Abstract:

Anti-violence messages are making their way onto television in the form of public-service announcements (PSAs). UNC researchers are studying the effect of PSAs on adolescents. So far, they’ve found that the anti-violence messages are too vague and don’t appear enough to overcome the influence of other programs.
