  • Title: Child-to-child unintentional injury and death from firearms in the United States: what can be done?
    Author: Glatt K.
    Journal: J Pediatr Nurs; 2005 Dec; 20(6):448-52. PubMed ID: 16298286.
    Abstract:
    Children are unintentionally killing and injuring other children at an alarming rate in the United States owing to the accessibility of firearms. Firearms are found in 33-40% of American households with children. Many of those firearms are stored in an unsafe manner, loaded and unlocked, leaving children vulnerable to injury. Health care professionals dedicated to the well-being of the pediatric population must take an active role in protecting our nation's children from unnecessary injury and death owing to the unsafe storage of firearms.
