Trauma patients from more vulnerable communities die at higher rates, but this association goes away after risk adjustment.This suggests it's not due to differences in care,rather in injury lethality.Time to invest upstream to improve outcomes @PoojaNeiman journals.lww.com/jtrauma/Ful…

On this day 1 yr ago the medical community refused to be silenced by the @NRA’s egregious, dismissive “stay in your lane” tweet. I am proud to support the @ThisIsOurLane movement - a critical campaign to develop comprehensive, commonsense solutions to #GunViolence #EnoughIsEnough

One of the reasons data and research are important to the #publichealth approach to #gunviolence. Data shows us that mentally ill are far more likely to be victims than perpetrators @NJGVRC @cdcinjury
