Carter PM, Mouch CA, Goldstick JE, et al. - By performing this inquiry in 1,312 adolescents and young adults (A/YAs) (age-16-29) seeking medical or injury-related care (7/2017–6/2018) at a Level-1 urban emergency department (ED), researchers assessed the rates as well as the correlates of risky firearm behaviors (RFBs), including firearm carriage in risky situations (eg, while drunk/high), discharge in risky situations (eg, fleeing police), and firearm aggression (eg, firearm threats/use against a partner/non-partner) in this population, so that prevention efforts may be informed. Older age, male gender, Black race/ethnicity, substance misuse, attitudes favoring firearm use/retaliation, peer firearm ownership/carriage, higher levels of community violence exposure, and active parole/probation were regression identified RFBs correlates. The protective influence of higher coping skills was noted. High RFB rates were found in A/YAs seeking urban ED treatment. This highlights that new prevention initiatives are required, particularly those including tailored content addressing substance use, retaliatory violence, and peer delinquency/norms, while improving self-efficacy for preventing RFBs and offering access to external resources within a resiliency-based framework.
