Hospital gun-violence prevention programs may be caught in federal funding crossfire

Summary

Nutrition label

88% Informative

AIM is one of dozens of hospital-linked violence intervention programs around the country.

The programs aim to uncover the social and economic factors that contributed to someone ending up in the ER with a bullet wound.

The ER is an ideal setting to intervene in gun violence by working to reverse-engineer what led to a patient's injuries.

The Health Alliance for Violence Intervention counts 74 hospital-linked violence intervention programs as of January .

The alliance's executive director compares medicine's role in addressing gun violence to that of preventing an infectious disease, like cholera.

The White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention now appears to be defunct, and recent moves to freeze federal grants created uncertainty among gun-violence prevention programs.
