Health Policy and Gun Violence

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses the subject of gun
violence and death.


Health Affairs's Jessica Bylander and Vabren Watts discuss this
week's school shooting in Uvalde, Texas and the recent history of
gun policy in the United States.


Violence permeates our society. One response to violence is to
better understand its origins and how to prevent it.


We invite you to read the Violence and Health issue of Health
Affairs from 2019 to better understand the impacts that gun
violence has on communities. The issue will be open access and
free to read until June 1, 2022.


For Mental Health Awareness month, we'd like to share the
reminder that if you are experiencing a mental health emergency,
you can call the national helpline at 1-800-662-HELP for support.
