Скачать или смотреть Dr. Garen Wintemute & Magdalena Cerdá: Firearm Violence: Research and Action

Firearm injury is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, and disproportionately affects black men between the ages of 15 and 34. Including homicides and suicides, the United States experiences, on average, the equivalent of one death by firearm every 16 minutes.

In this lecture, Professors Wintemute and Cerdá review current research on firearm violence as a health problem, highlight successful interventions, and suggest possibilities for the future.

Garen J. Wintemute MD, MPH is the founding director of the Violence Prevention Research Program at UC Davis and was among the first to study firearm violence as a public health problem. He teaches emergency medicine at UC Davis Medical Center and is a professor of emergency medicine at the UC Davis School of Medicine.

Magdalena Cerdá DrPH, MPH integrates approaches from social and psychiatric epidemiology to examine how social contexts shape violent behavior, substance use, and common forms of mental illness. She is leading national studies in the United States and abroad on the impact that policy changes have on firearm violence, opioid abuse, and marijuana use.
