Madhavan S, et al. - State child access prevention (CAP) laws and gun regulations were examined for their effectiveness on pediatric firearm mortality. In addition, researchers tested their hypothesis that states with more stringent firearm legislation had lower pediatric firearm mortality. Analyzing data from the Web-Based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System, 2014 Brady scores (used to quantify stringency of state gun regulations) and CAP laws, they identified approximately 2,715 pediatric firearm fatalities among children annually; 62.1% were homicides and 31.4% suicides. They noted fewer pediatric firearm fatalities and firearm suicides in correlation to strict gun legislation and CAP laws, respectively, though no such association was identified with pediatric firearm homicides. Findings suggest state-level legislation as crucial in reducing pediatric firearm-related deaths.
