The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Friday, October 29, 2021
Dear John,
An October issue paper focuses on associations between firearm bans and
reductions in pregnancy-associated homicide.
Firearm Laws Reduce Homicide Of Pregnant And Postpartum Women
In the October issue of Health Affairs, Maeve Wallace and colleagues
investigate the association between
domestic violence-related firearm possession bans and relinquishment
laws, and reductions in pregnancy-associated homicide.
"States that had both prohibited firearm possession and required firearm
relinquishment by people convicted of a domestic violence-related
misdemeanor experienced 3.74 fewer deaths per 100,000 live births than
would have been expected in the absence of either law," they found.
"Further strengthening of domestic violence-related firearm regulations
and their enforcement should be an urgent priority," the authors
conclude.
For more about firearms and health, revisit our October 2019 issue,
