Child access prevention firearm laws and firearm fatalities among children aged 0 to 14 years, 1991-2016
JAMA Mar 13, 2020
Azad HA, Monuteaux MC, Rees CA, et al. - This study seeks to distinguish the relationship between state child access prevention (CAP) firearm laws and pediatric firearm fatalities. Researchers performed a state-level, cross-sectional study of CAP firearm laws throughout the United States, 1991-2016, using negative binomial regression to analyze differences in state fatality rates in children aged 0 to 14 years. They carried out data analysis from November 21, 2018, to October 18, 2019. The study found that negligence laws were correlated with relative reductions in firearm fatality rates in children aged 0 to 14 years. In unintentional firearm fatalities, the most stringent negligence laws were correlated with the largest reductions. It was reported that recklessness laws were not correlated with decreased firearm fatality rates. In children, the passage of negligence CAP laws may have the potential to decrease firearm fatalities.
