Adolescent Exposure To Gun Violence

June is Gun Violence Awareness Month. Gun violence not only directly
harms the health of victims and witnesses, but also disrupts community
social cohesion and norms, which can have serious impacts on public
health. The people in communities that have experienced violence can
suffer several different adverse consequences, including posttraumatic
stress disorder and risky health behaviors.

In a new article, Sarah James and coauthors analyzed data about
adolescents in communities with a deadly gun violence
incident

in the past year and found that "only 4 percent of White adolescents
resided or attended school within 500 meters of a deadly gun violence
incident in the past year, versus 36 percent of Black adolescents and 29
percent of Hispanic adolescents."

Further, James and coauthors found that adolescents in poor and
near-poor households were greater than three times more likely to be
exposed to deadly gun violence near home or school.

James will appear on an upcoming episode of A Health Podyssey

to discuss this research.   

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Kathleen Uhl, formerly of the US Food and
Drug Administration, argues that patient input is critical

to bringing more affordable complex generics to market.

Sean Dickson and Amy Killelea discuss how Gilead's pipeline for two
HIV antiretrovirals manipulated current innovation incentives
.

Elevating Voices: Pride Month: In their September 2020 paper, Stephen
Bonett and colleagues investigated the association between state-level
policies and HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake
. They
found that states with HIV criminalization laws had lower PrEP-to-need
ratios, whereas states with more nondiscrimination laws for sexual and
gender minorities had higher ratios.
