      abstract = {Pediatric firearm injuries are a significant public and  medical community issue. Clinicians are on the front line  caring for children, adolescents, and their families after  a firearm injury or death. They also represent the best  hopes for preventing firearm injuries to children and  adolescents in the future. In circumstances of injury and  violence they provide medical, mental health, and  rehabilitative care. They also provide anticipatory  guidance to prevent firearm injuries and deaths and should  have a strong voice in the local, state and national  discussions about firearm policies for injury prevention.  This book provides an overview of the epidemiology and risk  factors for firearm injuries in children and adolescents.  It will serve as a practical clinical guide for firearm  injury prevention at the individual, state and national  levels. The beginning of the book focuses on the  epidemiology of firearm injuries, primarily centered in the  United States, but also including an international  perspective. It addresses the role of firearms in suicide,  homicide, and domestic violence, and examines mass  shootings as well. The second half of the book focuses on  preventive measures for firearm injuries including primary  care and hospital-based interventions, community  interventions, and state and federal legislation. It  concludes with a background on the history of firearm  research in the United States and future directions for  decreasing firearm injuries. The book's overall focus is on  public policy and the role of clinicians and public health  advocates, while simultaneously offering practical tools  and information about the clinician's role in intervention.  Written by experts in the field, Pediatric Firearm Injuries  and Fatalities is an ideal resource for pediatric,  adolescent medicine, emergency medicine, primary care and  family medicine clinicians. At the same time, it appeals to  all clinicians and public health advocates wishing to  develop a better understanding of pediatric firearm  injuries and a path forward to decreasing them.},
