Incorporating gun safety into clinical practice

P A Camosy. Am Fam Physician. .

Abstract

Many of the patients cared for by family physicians are at risk for firearm injury or death. Awareness of the risk factors enables physicians to incorporate firearm safety into clinical practice. In addition, physicians can speak out for firearm safety in the arenas of public education and legislative advocacy.
