Drag words into the blanks.
Exposure to gun violence makes adolescents twice as 1 to perpetrate serious violence in the next two years, according to a University of Michigan 2. Researchers found there is a 3 cause and 4 relationship between exposure and perpetration of violence. Jeffrey B. Bingenheimer, a doctoral student in health behaviour and health education, analysed five years of data from adolescents living in 78 neighbourhoods in Chicago. Bingenheimer is lead author on a paper in this week's journal Science.
