District of Columbia

public health association 










Injury and mental health issues caused by firearms in Washington, DC, are potentially linked to interpersonal or community violence, as well as systemic racism and poverty. Firearm Injury Surveillance Through Emergency Rooms (FASTER) and MPDC (Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia) Firearms Tracing Data Report are a few examples of data systems used to track cases of injuries by firearms to inform better prevention mechanisms. While the surveillance system is not the only building block necessary for gun safety in DC, nurses, social workers, and public health professionals are working endlessly at the frontline of intervention and prevention efforts. Moreover, Brady United will share their work in ending gun violence in the District. The DCPHA 2024 Annual Meeting will create dialogue about gun safety in DC and build an alliance for action.
