Bulletins: First Issue
Bulletins, a periodic newsletter written by researchers at the HICRC, represents our attempt to summarize the literature in firearm injury research in a fresh, readable way. Our aim with each issue is to examine one specific topic of firearm injury research in depth.
This issue, Safe Firearm Storage: What's the Evidence That It Can Prevent Adolescent Suicide?, reviews the evidence about whether safe firearm storage practices can prevent youth suicide.
We hope that you will enjoy this inaugural issue, and that it stimulates your work in preventing firearm injuries in the US and beyond! Thanks to Renee Johnson, Yerby Post-Doctoral Fellow, for leading the production of this issue.
