TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Prevention of firearm injury through policy and law: the social ecological model JO - Journal of law, medicine and ethics A1 - Durkin, Allison A1 - Nyhan, Kate A1 - Narayan, Yamini A1 - Schenck, Christopher A1 - Vermund, Sten H. A1 - Khoshnood, Kaveh SP - 191 EP - 197 VL - 48 IS - Suppl 4 N2 - Rates of firearm injury and mortality are far higher in the United States compared to other high-income nations. Patterns of firearm injury have complex causal pathways; different social contexts may be differentially affected by firearm legislation. In the context of the diversity of social, political, and legal approaches at the state level, we suggest the application of the social ecological model as a conceptual public health framework to guide future policy interventions in the U.S.
