Violence--homicides, suicides, injuries caused by youth or family acts--continues in the United States. Firearms are involved in most incidents. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention addresses the problem using the traditional tools of public health: epidemiologic data, individual and societal interventions based on the data, and ongoing evaluations to assess the effects of the interventions and change them if necessary. Examples of interventions are presented.
在美国，暴力行为（包括杀人、自杀以及青少年或家庭行为导致的伤害）仍在持续。大多数此类事件都涉及枪支。疾病控制与预防中心运用公共卫生的传统手段来解决这一问题：收集流行病学数据、基于这些数据进行个人和社会层面的干预，以及持续评估以衡量干预措施的效果，并在必要时进行调整。文中还列举了一些干预措施的实例。
