This is episode 1 of the series: Firearm Injury and Gun Violence: Healthcare's Role

As a trauma surgeon, Dr. Bonne was well-acquainted with the unfortunate and sad situation of having to inform parents or families that a child, relative, or friend died from firearm violence. She wanted to do something to address firearm injury prevention in a practical way. As she explains about who is at higher risk for firearm injury, why firearm  injury is a better descriptor than gun violence, and how healthcare can help prevent firearm injury, we can understand how to discuss awareness of these issues and provide resources and support to help decrease firearm injuries.
