Research shows that violence has a significant and lasting impact on mental and physical well-being. Gun violence is a serious threat to the health of many communities in the United States. Statistics show that every day, 318 people are directly involved in gun-related violence, and the numbers grow substantially when family and friends are added to these totals. Looking beyond the political viewpoints, this lecture will discuss the history of gun violence in the United States and globally, explore current data on gun violence, and examine the influence of structural violence on population health. The lecture will also investigate some of the challenges faced by the healthcare community as it strives to improve the health and well-being of the population.
