The Collaborate Short Reports are designed to provide a snapshot of data insights on relevant topics that relate to patient care, crew safety, operational management, and public health. They highlight and summarize key analysis and findings to drive industry awareness, validation, and more in-depth research.
The goal of these reports are to add valuable data to not only the prehospital industry but also bridge the gap with public health programs and initiatives.
2018-2020 National Trends in Firearm-related Incidents in the Prehospital Setting
Pediatric Behavioral Health Incidents in the Prehospital Setting from January 2018 to October 2021
Volume 1: Issue 1. Published September 2021.
Volume 1: Issue 2. Published January 2022.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has identified firearm-related incidents as the top five leading causes of death for individuals under the age of 65. While intentionality of firearm-related incidents is not always known in the prehospital setting, U.S. trauma centers have seen an increase in patients with violent injuries, including firearm-related, over the past 12 months. Firearm-related incidents are a public health concern and can utilize valuable and often strained Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
This Collaborate report is a large sample of data from across the nation where firearm-related incidents are seen in the prehospital setting. This report looks at how these incidents have changed across age groups and different regions from 2018 to 2020.
Several studies have found an increase in emergent pediatric behavioral health incidents over the last two decades and even more so during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported the proportion of pediatric mental health-related emergency department visits increased by 31% from 2019 to 2020. The rise in pediatric behavioral health emergencies is not only a societal concern, but also adds additional strain to EMS organizations.
