Summary

"This book will differ from other books on gun violence in that it will serve as both a primer and a handbook for public health practitioners, advocates, students, and the public, and will make information about the public health approach to gun violence accessible. Using a conceptual framework that has led to successes in decreasing motor vehicle related deaths and disability, the book will focus on effective strategies to engage in productive dialogue about gun safety while protecting the rights of responsible gun owners. It is meant to be a resource rather than a textbook to be read cover-to-cover"--
