Dr. Megan Ranney, Dean, Yale School of Public Health: We have the public health tools to tackle America’s epidemic of firearm injuries and deaths.
Dr. Megan Ranney, the dynamic, charismatic Dean of the Yale School of Public Health, joined us to illuminate the strategy she has pioneered to curb firearm injuries and deaths in America. It is a true epidemic that begs a serious public health approach. It requires coming to terms with suicide and homicide in America—both sensitive, disturbing phenomena. It requires a concentrated focus on data gaps, research investments, effective interventions, and scaling the response. Together these actions hold the promise of reducing deaths and injuries by 50 percent. Many commonsense actions are steadily achieving major gains, including safe storage of weapons, better engineering of weapons, fostering a community of dedicated researchers, and introducing economic incentives that favor safety. In combination, these are demonstrably raising hope, even in the face of enduring stigma and skepticism, political divisions, gaps in knowledge, and misinformation and disinformation. Come listen for the full story.
Please note this episode contains subject matter relating to gun violence and the topic of suicide. Listener discretion is advised.
