Twenty-five years after the shootings at Columbine High School, the U.S. continues to experience outsized rates of gun violence compared to much of the world. But amid the heartbreak, there has been some progress. Researchers and policymakers have identified promising approaches to reduce firearm deaths and injuries — even in the absence of major gun control legislation. This panel will explore public health strategies to reduce gun casualties, including suicides, and highlight successful initiatives across the country.
