Firearm Injury Prevention From a Pediatric Critical Care Perspective
Abstract:
Firearm injury is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children and young adults in the United States. Inequities in this mechanism of injury related to race, gender, location, and economic status have increased during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Firearm injury is a public health crisis and requires a public health approach. By utilizing the Haddon matrix and injury equity framework, pediatric providers can systematically apply evidence-based medicine and strategies to combat this epidemic. It is imperative that acute care providers, including pediatric intensivists, pediatric hospitalists, and emergency medicine providers, unite with other subspecialists and primary care providers to reduce the burden of this preventable epidemic.
