abstract="A statistical overview of trends and patterns in firearm related hospital separations in Australia and each of its eight States and Territories is presented for the period 1994-95 to 1998-99. The data, which shows an observed decline in the rate of hospital separations due to firearm related injuries, provides: number and morbidity rates; jurisdictional comparisons; type of firearm used; gender variation; age variation; and separation mode. The findings have significant implications for policy in devising strategies to limit the risk of injury from firearms.<p />",
