Firearm injury is the leading cause of death in children and adolescents in the US, surpassing motor vehicle crashes. There is a need for greater legislative advocacy around firearm injury prevention, specifically around safer storage of firearms. A national medical trainee-based program convened in 2021 with the goal of increasing advocacy efforts around common causes of pediatric injury. A focus was to create a set of advocacy training tools that could be utilized by a wide variety of stakeholders. The subgroup sought to design policy-based training tools; one focused on general firearm injury prevention principles and another specifically focused on Child Access Prevention (CAP) laws. We explicate the utility of these documents and the need for greater advocacy around pediatric firearm injuries.
在美国，枪支伤害是儿童和青少年死亡的首要原因，超过了机动车事故。有必要围绕预防枪支伤害，特别是围绕枪支的安全储存，进行更强有力的立法宣传。2021年启动了一个以全国医学实习生为基础的项目，目标是加大对儿童伤害常见原因的宣传力度。重点是创建一套可供广泛利益相关者使用的宣传培训工具。该小组试图设计基于政策的培训工具；一个侧重于一般枪支伤害预防原则，另一个则专门侧重于儿童防接触（CAP）法。我们阐述了这些文件的效用以及围绕儿童枪支伤害进行更多宣传的必要性。
