abstract="In December 2019, for the first time in more than 20 years, the US Congress  appropriated, and the president signed, a bill that included $25 million for gun  violence prevention research at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and  the National Institutes of Health. This research should find ways to reduce injury,  death, and suffering while protecting the right of law-abiding citizens to own  firearms. Four questions can structure this research agenda. First, what is the  problem: How many people get shot, who are they, where does it happen, what is the  relationship between the shooter and the victim, what other types of damage are  incurred, and are the shootings increasing or decreasing? Second, what are the  causes: What is the role of alcohol and drugs; what is the role of gangs, poverty,  and systemic racism; what is the role of mental illness, robbery, and domestic  violence; what is the role of private gun ownership (both positive and negative) and  easy access to guns? What are the factors that protect us, such as stable families  and safe environments? Third, what works: Which practices, interventions, policies,  and laws work best to prevent these deaths and injuries? And fourth, how do you do  it: How do you implement the findings and translate them into policies, legislation,  and practices that can be scaled up? Expected final online publication date for the  Annual Review of Public Health, Volume 42 is April 2021.
