Description
Firearms have become the leading cause of death for US children and teens, and disproportionately impact people of color. The impact of gun violence extends far beyond immediate deaths and injuries, with childhood exposure contributing to mental health challenges, and increasing the risk of adult involvement in gun violence. During this webinar, researchers from the University of Michigan, RTI International, and Sandy Hook Promise will discuss new findings that explore the psychological impact of mass shootings on youth, and the impact of anonymous reporting systems on school gun violence prevention.
