Health Impacts Of Mass Shootings
[link removed]
This week, Health Affairs published a new health policy
brief about mass shootings in the United States.
Although mass shootings account for less than 1 percent of all firearm
deaths annually, they evoke significant public alarm.
These tragedies have detrimental effects that extend way beyond the harm
to the direct victims and their families to include those who witness
these events, those who live in the communities surrounding them, and
those who identify with the demographic groups targeted.
In the brief, authors Aparna Soni and Erdal Tekin review research about
mass shootings and their effect on population health and discuss policy
interventions that may reduce the harms inflicted by mass shootings.
Soni and Tekin categorize policy responses to mass shootings into
several buckets: physical security measures, social media monitoring,
mental health supports, and gun control policies.
They note, however, that there is little credible evidence on the causal
effects of policies on the frequency and lethality of mass shootings.
A supplement to the brief provides a synopsis of studies to date on the
effects of mass shootings on health outcomes.

Elsewhere At Health Affairs
This week in Health Affairs Forefront, Neil Rowen and coauthors discuss
how race, ethnicity, and language data
can be used to identify and intervene on urgent population health
priorities.
Lauren Brinkley-Rubinstein and coauthors discuss the lack of centralized
tracking of monkeypox cases in carceral facilities
or guidance for prisons and jails from the CDC or state health
departments.
Bobby Clark writes that Congress has the chance to enact a law that
affirms LGBTQ+ people on a national scale
and neutralizes the health and social threat created by Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomas's recent opinion.
