Firearm Injuries as Public Health

CDC recently began displaying provisional data on firearm homicide and firearm suicide online to allow for more timely visualization of national trends. In addition, CDC has expanded the FASTER program to fund more state and local health departments to use nonfatal injury data from emergency departments to better understand firearm injury patterns. Funded recipients continue to develop local dashboards and share information with the public.
