This webinar is part of a series hosted by the Joyce Foundation that focuses on firearms research commissioned by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 2019, Congress resumed funding firearms research through the CDC, and now the first funded projects are starting to produce new and important findings for the field.
Description:
Firearms are the leading cause of death for American children and teens, with the gun death rate among children aged 0-17 more than doubling between 2013 and 2022. In this webinar, the panelists discussed new research exploring two youth-focused firearm injury prevention programs:
- Guardians 4 Health: a three-part bystander intervention program operating through the National 4-H Shooting Sports Program.
- ShootSafe: an interactive web-based platform to teach children firearm safety.
Thank you to the panelists Dr. Megan L. Ranney and Dr. David C. Schwebel. You can access their slideshow presentations here and here.
Note: The research and analysis presented during this webinar reflect the views of the presenting researchers and not necessarily of the Joyce Foundation or the CDC.
