Webinar Description

Firearm-related incidents are among the five leading causes of death for individuals under age 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).

The most recent ImageTrend Collaborate™ Short Report is focused on national trends in firearm-related incidents in the prehospital setting and identifies the population most in need of focused resources and prevention efforts. Join Epidemiologist Morgan K. Anderson as she dives into key findings from the report and discusses valuable next steps.
