Confronting the Burden of Firearm Injury: The Role of Clinicians
Firearm violence is a leading cause of premature death in the United States. According to 2017 CDC data, nearly 40,000 people in the U.S. died from firearm-related injuries. Kaiser Permanente recently announced plans to leverage its deep clinical experience and research capabilities to help tackle this issue.
Attendees Will Learn:
- Populations most at risk of firearm-related deaths
- How violence, firearms and health care intersect
- Steps hospitals and staff can play to mitigate the risk of firearm injury
- Research to identify evidence-based tools health care systems can use to prevent firearm injury and death
