SUMMARY:Healthcare-based Screening and Violence Prevention Tools
DESCRIPTION:The Joyce Foundation is holding a fourth webinar in the series focused on firearms research commissioned by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This webinar will cover a critical element of firearm violence prevention: the role of healthcare-based tools and interventions. Early research suggests that screening tools and interventions used in healthcare settings could help prevent future violence and suicide among people at risk. \nIn this webinar\, researchers from the University of Michigan and the Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute will discuss new findings that explore the role of a hospital-based screening tool (SaFETy) in predicting future firearm violence risk\, and a decision-aid tool (Lock to Live) that helps people at risk of suicide make informed decisions about securely storing firearms. \nLearn more and Register
