    Open AccessAmanda J Aubel, Amanda Aubel et al.ARTICLECommunity Mental Health Journal2026

    Suicide is a major public health issue that disproportionately affects certain populations. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (988) was established in July 2022 as an accessible, easy-to-remember resource for individuals in crisis. Maximizing its impact relies on public knowledge and willingness to use the service. Using data from a cross-sectional survey of California adults ( n = 3531), fielded online in November 2024, this study assessed aware…

    Open AccessRose M C Kagawa, Ayush Patel et al.ARTICLESocial Science Quarterly2024Referencias: 10

    Aim The U.S. prohibits firearm purchase among individuals with specific risk factors. These prohibitions are operationalized using background checks for firearm purchase.

Materials and Methods We conducted a mixed‐methods, descriptive study of the records and record‐keeping practices that underpin background c…

    Philip J Cook, Ariadne E Rivera-Aguirre et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2017Citada por: 4Referencias: 8

    Objectives. To investigate the validity of the apparent downward trend in the national case–fatality rate for gunshot wounds from assault. Methods. We reanalyzed the estimated annual number of nonfatal firearm injuries the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System reported from 2003 to 2012. We adjusted the estimates for discontinuities created by the substitution of 1 hospital for another in the sample and for a downward trend in the percen…

    Open AccessGaren J Wintemute, Garen WintemuteARTICLEJournal of Urban Health2010Citada por: 16Referencias: 1

    Firearm-related violence is a significant public health and public safety problem for cities in the USA, and licensed firearm retailers are an important source of the guns used in that violence. Using a scripted telephone interview, we screened a sample of licensed retailers in California to assess their willingness to participate in the surrogate or "straw" purchase of a handgun; such purchases are illegal under federal law. Of 149 retailers who…

  • Flaws in Study of Firearm Possession and Risk for Assault

    Garen J Wintemute, Garen WintemuteARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2010Referencias: 2

    The study by Branas et al.1 contains errors in design and execution that make it difficult to determine the meaning of their findings. Their study assessed risk for being assaulted and then shot, a compound outcome event whose second element (being shot) is not inevitable given the first (being assaulted). Persons who were assaulted but not shot are not studied. We do not know whether any association between firearm possession and their outcome m…
