Funding has played an influential role in the amount of research conducted around gun violence and firearms. Funding had decreased related to political and policy-related issues, but now funding is being provided again. With more data being obtained, more understanding of the links between prevention, intervention, and injury can help influence better trauma-informed care. Additionally, interprofessional interventions such as partnering with communities, talking about how we educate patients, working with community health workers, and starting hospital-based violence intervention groups can be valuable for preventing and addressing firearm injuries.
