Call to action: New AAP research initiative aims to protect children from firearm injuries

The Academy is launching a bold new research initiative to protect children from firearm injuries.

Approaching these injuries as a public health epidemic, the Gun Safety and Injury Prevention Research Initiative will bring together experts from around the country to study and implement evidence-based interventions.

The initiative is a call to action spurred by members who have been vocal about needing to do more to protect children.
