The Center’s 2024 Year in Review 

 

This year, the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions mobilized our team to advance life-saving solutions.  

 

We collaborated with researchers, legislators, community members, law enforcement, health care providers, students and fellow advocates to participate in all phases of the policy change process and achieved significant impact!

Highlighting The Center’s Clinical Programs and Practices Team  

The Center has created a new webpage highlighting our clinical programs and practice team and their accomplishments. Composed of 12 clinicians, researchers, and educators, our team aims to translate evidence-based strategies for violence and injury prevention into clinical practice and training. This can be accomplished through these three mission objectives: teaching, patient care and research.  

 

Teaching: Members of our team have partnered with educators and program leaders across the institution to provide violence prevention education in more than ten graduate medical education programs and in graduate nursing education programs. 

Patient Care: Members work not only to provide the highest quality care to their own patients but also to ensure access to evidence-based, trauma-informed services by patients and families impacted by violence. 

Research: Team members lead practice-changing research funded by NIH and CDC as well as numerous foundations on secure firearm storage, ERPO implementation, intimate partner violence, trauma-informed care, and community-based and hospital-based violence prevention. 

 

Our webpage showcases the team’s numerous accomplishments, including the Ask Me Safe Gun Storage program, our hospital-based violence intervention programs, and more.

Downloadable flyers collecting the best gun storage practices, written in over 6 languages, have also been included. This is a part of our strategy to teach people of all backgrounds the basics of how to properly store firearms to prevent fatal injury.

Focusing Our Efforts Through ACTFAST 

We also created a hub for information regarding our Adopting Comprehensive Training for Firearm Safety in Trauma Centers (ACTFAST) program. ACTFAST’s goal is to demonstrate the best practices for pediatric trauma center-based firearm injury prevention strategies through the promotion of safe storage that help reduce firearm related injury and death. Our program, which has been implemented for both children and adults in hospitals across the country, continues to be highly successful.
