Surgeons can play a vital role in community violence prevention through integrated care pathways. Incorporating prevention into surgical training benefits both individuals and communities.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical practice and public health.
  • Community violence prevention strategies.

Background:

  • Historically, surgeons were committed to both prevention and cure, a tradition that may have diminished with the rise of public health as a specialty.
  • Opportunities for surgeons to engage in prevention are increasing, particularly in areas like community violence prevention.

Discussion:

  • A novel care pathway integrates primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies with surgical care.
  • Primary prevention involves collecting data on weapons and assault locations.
  • Secondary prevention combines wound care with motivational interviewing for alcohol misuse.
  • Tertiary prevention includes early referral for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment.

Key Insights:

  • Community violence prevention enhances public safety in urban areas where surgeons practice.
