Date & Time

Selected Sessions:

Apr 17, 2025 12:00 PM

Description
**ZOOM ONLY** Firearm injury and death is a public health epidemic that spreads through communities and social networks much like an infectious disease. Firearm injuries are the leading cause of death among children in the United States. Less research has focused on nonfatal firearm injuries, despite being three times more prevalent than firearm fatalities. This talk will discuss how innovative informatics methods of linked police and clinical data better describe the epidemiology and consequences of firearm injury – particularly among survivors and family members. In addition to secondary data, how qualitative interviews help better inform the design and implementation of community-led interventions focused on improving access to care, reducing mental health symptoms, and reducing firearm injuries. Future research avenues will also be discussed. Featuring: Lauren A. Magee, PhD Assistant Professor of pediatrics Indiana University School of Medicine
