Every year, over 100,000 people are victims of gun violence in the U.S. More than 32,000 of these victims die. To combat these unacceptable numbers the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence has set an ambitious goal to cut gun deaths in half by 2025. Avery Gardiner, Co-president will discuss how our membership can address this issue through policy, legal action, and public health and safety. Ms. Gardiner will talk about efforts to change the culture, change the laws, and change the gun industry.

Learning Objectives:
1. Define gun violence as a population health problem.
2. Analyze education and practice implications of preventing gun violence, and opportunities for advocacy with student groups.
3. Review the research on the prevention of gun violence, the determinants, and how health professions students should prepare to address this issue in their communities.
