Gun violence prevention is one of the most significant contemporary public health priorities. In addition to causing physical injury and death, research has demonstrated that gun violence has a substantial impact on mental health and social functioning. Addressing this public health epidemic is congruous with InCHIP’s mission, which focuses on facilitating interdisciplinary research to improve human health and well-being. We are fortunate to have the expertise of ARMS investigators and fully support their timely and significant research.
