The American Public Health Association has announced that research papers, commentaries and analytic essays on public health and firearms published in the American Journal of Public Health are now available to all free of charge, with no subscription required to access the research, data and findings.
In the shadow of decades of intentional and unintentional deaths and injuries from firearms, APHA believes better public access to published, peer-reviewed research on firearms can lead to smarter evidence-based policies that enhance firearm safety and violence prevention. With more research and better policy, the public health community hopes to foster more productive conversations and interventions to stop the epidemic of violence in our communities.
A select group of high-value research will be made available to the public immediately. Moving forward, APHA plans to unlock all published and future firearm research. AJPH articles now available to the public include research on the urban-rural differences in firearm suicides, how law enforcement and firearm retailers can serve as partners in suicide prevention, loaded handgun carrying, the financial cost of firearm injury, the effect of state legislation on firearm homicide, interventions to improve safe firearm storage, employer firearm policies and workplace homicide, public opinion on carry laws and the role firearms play in establishing homicide as a leading cause of death for pregnant and postpartum women, among other subjects.
