About The Study: Researchers found in this study of 1.1 million firearm fatalities in the United States from 1990 to 2021 marked disparities in firearm fatality rates between men and women and by racial and ethnic group, and these disparities increased in recent years. These findings suggest that public health approaches to reduce firearm violence should consider underlying demographic and geographic trends and differences by intent.
