Health Systems Interventions to Prevent Firearm Injuries and Death
2019
This report from the National Academies Press (NAP) summarizes the proceedings of a workshop on firearm injuries and deaths. The workshop presents evidence on health system interventions to address firearm injuries and deaths and discusses its implications for preventive practices. The workshop underscores various implementation strategies for evidence-based interventions and participants discuss future research that should be conducted, paying special attention to environmental and behavioral risk factors. The workshop emphasizes a socially conscious disease framework for firearm violence and highlights the unique position of health systems to mount preventive efforts, recognizing the need for community engagement, perspective shifts, and health system reform, independent of current politics.
