Module 3 directed response forum would have three components in part a (part B is your response to a peer). Please choose and state a focus area or objective from either Healthy People 2020/2030 or Healthy People (HP) New Jersey 2020.

The selected health indicator from the New Jersey State Health Assessment Data (NJSHAD) is violence and homicide. Ideally, homicide is a subset of violence as it is death resulting from intentionally using force on another person, community, or group. The NJSHAD focuses on violence and homicide as significant public health concerns in the United States, as they are the third leading cause of death, especially among the youth. According to NJSHAD (2020), violence is the second leading cause of death among persons aged 25 – 29 and the third leading cause of death among people aged 15 and 24 in New Jersey. In New Jersey, deaths from homicide often vary based on people’s racial composition. For example, between 2016 and 2018, African Americans had high homicide rates, followed by Hispanics (NJSHAD, 2020). In this regard, African American males aged between 15 and 19 are at the highest risk of homicide.
