Firearm Injuries in the United States: A Public Health Approach Centered Upon Partnership and Engagement (T)
This session has been identified and designated as Credit to Meet ACS Accreditation/Verification Requirements for Trauma.
Session Description
The significant reduction in motor vehicle-related deaths (22 percent decrease) and injury rates over the past two decades are a result of addressing traffic-related injury as a public health problem. In contrast, firearm-related injury has been dealt with principally as a political problem. Over the same time period, intentional firearm-related death rates have increased by 17 percent. This session will explore the epidemiology of this issue and the public health imperative to reduce firearm-related injury and death through engagement and partnership with advocates, stakeholders, and communities at risk.
