Firearm violence is a significant public health problem, particularly among youth in the United States. Regardless of the data source or setting, young Black men have consistently been found to be disproportionately affected by firearm injuries and deaths. Public health research indicates that racial segregation likely increases racial disparities in firearm violence. To minimize deaths and injuries due to firearms and their cascading health consequences and to ultimately achieve health equity, preventive efforts will need to address the social determinants of health, including racism.
枪支暴力是一个重大的公共卫生问题，尤其是在美国的青少年中。无论数据来源或环境如何，年轻的黑人男性始终受到枪支伤害和死亡的不成比例影响。公共卫生研究表明，种族隔离可能会加剧枪支暴力方面的种族差异。为了最大限度地减少枪支造成的死亡和伤害及其连锁的健康后果，并最终实现健康公平，预防工作将需要解决包括种族主义在内的健康的社会决定因素。
