To improve trauma outcomes, we must first examine the lens through which we study them. SAFER-Trauma highlights how bias in research can reinforce disparities and ultimately shape the care our patients receive.

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

My Surgeon General’s Advisory on Firearm Violence outlines the devastating impact of firearm violence on Americans. Firearm violence is pervasive: a staggering 54% of adults report they or their families have experienced a firearm-related incident. https://t.co/bNS7xD9Bhp

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

NEW: Today, for the first time in the history of our office, I am issuing a Surgeon General’s Advisory on Firearm Violence. Firearm violence is a public health crisis in America that poses a serious threat to the health and well-being of our country. https://t.co/bNS7xDa96X 1/10

[The HAVI @TheHAVI]

For nearly 15 years, the Health Alliance for Violence Intervention (HAVI) has championed hospital-based violence intervention programs (#HVIPs) as a critical #publichealth strategy for reducing violence, especially in communities of color. Together we can end the disproportionate impact of violence on historically disinvested communities by fostering coordinated, community-led systems that heal trauma and promote equity.
