About This Teach-Out

Welcome to the Preventing Gun Violence in America Teach-Out. In response to the two mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio in early August 2019, we invite you to this interdisciplinary and timely discussion about gun violence and safety in the United States. Gun violence prevention is an urgent, complex, and multifaceted problem. A group of experts from the Firearm-safety Among Children and Teens (FACTS) Consortium in the the fields of public health, criminal justice, psychology, and emergency medicine discuss the state of gun violence and injury prevention in the U.S., and how data may inform possible solutions to these issues.

The Teach-Out will answer:
- Is gun violence in the U.S. increasing or decreasing?
- How do gun death rates compare to other causes of death in the U.S.?
- What are a few intervention methods currently being used or considered to prevent gun violence?
- What are common misconceptions about gun violence?

Buen curso.
This seminar presents an objective and non-political description of the problem of gun violence in America. The takeaways are practical and centered on approaches to build real solutions within the private sector. I highly recommend this class.
Brief overview of facts. Not a bad start to a an informed conversation. Seems a bit too left to be ignored
Targeted information but ignores root cause. A gun is a tool and it's use is subject to the behavior of the owner. What is causing people to lose their humanity and act out there violence. Stop looking at guns and look at the root cause of the violence
Right on the fence. Good course, but strays where all research strays. As soon as you put "gun" in front of anything, you change the topic.
