Injuries and interpersonal violence take a great toll on the individual person, families and society. In 2020, firearm injuries became the leading cause of death in children and adolescents in the United States. Whether the injury is from a concussion, gun violence or domestic abuse, the American Medical Association provides evidence-based resources focused on injury prevention and violence prevention.
With articles, guides, CME and other resources, AMA gives physician practices and health systems the actionable, evidence-based strategies to work with patients, reduce violent injuries, and integrate hospital and community-based resources to address underlying risk factors.
