abstract="Firearms are a leading cause of injury and death among children and adolescents. For those who survive, firearm injuries are a source of significant toxic stress, often among already marginalized groups. Although medical and public health professionals and the victims themselves recognize the need for a more comprehensive mental health approach before and after a firearm injury, the health utilization and expenditures specifically dedicated to mental health services after a firearm injury for children remain unclear. Therefore, the authors set out to compare mental healthcare encounters and expenditures of youth preceding and proceeding a nonfatal firearm injury.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
