Paul Torrens Health Forum: A Public Health Approach to Gun Violence

757 Westwood Plaza,Los Angeles CA 90095

19 October, 2022

Description

Gun violence is a leading cause of premature death in the U.S. Guns kill more than 38,000 people and cause nearly 85,000 injuries each year, equating to 100 deaths and 230 injuries EVERY day. The scale and complexity of the challenge cannot be understated. A public health approach could be a key way to address different aspects – by strengthening civic organizations, maintaining pressure on elected officials, advancing research on gun violence, and addressing aspects of prevention. As we have returned to in-person events, please join us for networking and a moderated panel of gun violence and safety experts to talk about the strides we have made and the hurdles yet to overcome!
