“Firearm injury is a leading cause of death in the U.S., injuries from guns kill more children and adolescents than any other health threat and Black Americans face disproportionately high rates of firearm homicide due to systemic racism. My goal as a public health expert on firearm injury prevention is to encourage people to stay activated. There is unprecedented momentum and support for firearm injury research, and I am enthusiastic that the work we are doing now will make meaningful progress toward reducing the devastation caused by firearms for generations to come.”
