Trends Related To Firearm Violence
The November issue of Health Affairs features two articles on gun violence.
The first article, by Nathaniel Glasser and coauthors, examines trends in firearm suicide ([link removed] ) , across the life course over the past twenty years, comparing trends in 2015-20 versus 1999-2014.
Glasser and coauthors find stable trends in firearm suicide by age, although there were higher overall rates across all age groups in 2015-20 versus in 1999-2014.
At the state level, they find higher rates of firearm suicide and total suicide in states with less-strict firearm policy environments than those in states with less-strict policy environments.
They note that “the difference in suicide rates between states with less-versus more-strict firearm policy environments was nearly as large as the nation’s overall homicide rate during the same period.”

The second article, by Zirui Song and coauthors, assesses the health and economic consequences of firearm injuries ([link removed] ) in children and adolescents among survivors and family members.
They find significant increases in pain, psychiatric, and substance use disorders among survivors, and increases in psychiatric disorders among parents of survivors, among other findings.
