The staggering number of deaths and emergency department visits
caused by firearm injuries has only grown with time. Costs
associated with firearm related injuries amount to over a billion
dollars annually in the United States alone, not including
physician charges and postdischarge costs. To address this
epidemic, in April of 2022, the National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine's Board on Population Health and Public
Health Practice, in collaboration with Northwell Heath and the
PEACE Initiative, brought together firearm injury prevention
thought leaders to explore how health systems can integrate
interventions for firearm injury prevention into routine care for
the purpose of improving the health of patients and communities.
The workshop speakers discussed strategies for firearm injury and
mortality prevention and its integration into routine care.
Speakers also explored facilitators and barriers to implementation
strategies, and how health systems might work to overcome those
barriers. Table of Contents Front Matter 1 Introduction 2 Framing
