Resource Book Online
 
The authors of this Resource Book have collective expertise in areas of medicine, nursing, epidemiology, demography, policy and healthcare. The information presented here is based on a wide body of work from a variety of research and has been peer-reviewed by academic scholars from many different disciplines. We hope to offer an integrated perspective to the field of firearm injury prevention by providing a resource for multiple levels of study.

This Resource Book will help readers:

Understand the problem of firearm injuries in terms of national public health: the magnitude of gun-related injury, disability, and psychological and economic impact to our society.

Review the current data available for firearm injury, their limitations, and where more information and study is needed.

Understand the benefit of addressing firearm injury from a public health approach.

Learn how potential interventions can be identified to reduce death and disability from firearm injury.
