About this event
As firearms became the leading cause of death for US children and teens, disproportionately impact people of color, the impact of gun violence extends far beyond immediate deaths and injuries. Childhood exposure also contributes to mental health challenge and increases the risk of adult involvement in gun violence.
During the presentation, the researchers will discuss new findings that explore handgun carrying behavior among rural youth; the association between bullying and handgun carrying; and the impact of prevention programming on adolescent handgun carrying.
