Colorado doctors leading new firearm injury prevention initiative

Researchers at the University of Colorado School of Medicine have a similar mission and have launched the Firearm Injury Prevention Initiative to take a closer look at why. “So, what we are trying to do is use, research, education, and collaboration with communities to prevent all types of firearm injuries and death that includes those in our home so suicide, accidents, domestic violence,” Emmy Betz said. Betz is leading the initiative that will bring doctors and scientists together to take a nonpartisan look at the data around firearm injuries and deaths.
