More sobering data on pediatric firearm injuries. Jennifer Hoffmann MD & PECARNteam researchers highlight the increase in emergency department visits for firearm injuries among youth from 2017-2022. This is a public health crisis & we all have a duty to act. cnn.com/2023/11/06/hea…

New study from Jennifer Hoffmann MD offers a novel look at the scope of the youth #mentalhealthcrisis across the US – in 2019-2020, more than 1 in 10 kids who were brought to the hospital by ambulance had a behavioral health emergency. luriechildrens.org/en/news-storie…

Children say it best… We healthcare providers also have opportunities to share similar messages of kindness, hope, and welcome with our newly immigrated patients. ❤️

Due to decades without federal funding for pediatric firearm injury prevention research, "we’ve lost a whole generation of researchers. We need to start from scratch and entirely rebuild the research workforce." I'm quoted by CNN cnn.com/2024/02/07/hea… @LuriePEM Stanley Manne Children's Research Institute

Analysis of over 40,000 youth suicides finds that the large majority of children lacked prior mental health diagnosis, emphasizing the importance of access to regular wellness checks, mental health screenings &treatment. luriechildrens.org/en/news-storie… Lurie Children's Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine

We also found that youth that used firearms, the most common means, were also less likely to have a documented mental health diagnosis, highlighting the need for universal lethal means counseling and Child Access Protection Laws to keep our most vulnerable population safe.
