Abstract

Data were collected from parents bringing children to selected pediatric practices in Maryland using questionnaires and focus group discussions. Gun ownership ranged from 27% in the suburban practice to 53% in the rural practice. Unrealistic perceptions of children's capabilities and behavioral tendencies with regard to guns were common among gun owners. Half of all gun-owning parents believed that active strategies (eg, education, supervision) were the best method of preventing gun injuries to children older than 12 years of age. Nearly all gun owners indicated a willingness to follow their pediatrician's advice about gun storage, but only 19% of the mothers and 10% of the fathers said they would follow advice to remove guns from the home. Among parents who did not have a gun in the home, 40% said they would consider obtaining one if they felt threatened; however, 73% of these parents indicated they would be dissuaded from doing so by a pediatrician's advice about the risks of keeping guns in the home. Results suggested that pediatricians will be most effective if they recommend passive strategies (eg, removing guns from the home or storing guns unloaded and locked) on the basis of children's development capabilities and behavioral tendencies and make their recommendations part of general counseling about child safety.

Abstract

Members of the Maryland Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics completed a mail survey on their beliefs and counseling practices related to firearm injury prevention. Respondents were skeptical of the protective value of firearms in the home and most were supportive of gun control measures. Only a fifth believed that most families with handguns keep them inaccessible to children; however, many seemed to believe that the children at risk were in practices other that their own. Among those providing direct ambulatory care, 40% had a patient who had been shot. Seventy-four percent believed pediatricians have a responsibility to counsel families about firearms. Only 13% believed parents would be offended if guns were included in anticipatory guidance discussions. Even so, only 30% had ever provided such counseling. Just half of the respondents agreed that they knew what to tell families about firearms. Ninety percent were very likely to counsel parents to store guns unloaded and locked up, whereas 54% were very likely to advise parents to remove guns from the home. More than two thirds believed parents would heed their advice about storing firearms, and 30% believed parents would follow advice about having guns. Results suggest pediatricians are ready to counsel about firearm injury prevention, but are not yet doing so. Pediatrics 1992;89:902-907

29. Toward reducing pediatric injuries from firearms: charting a legislative and regulatory course

Subjects

Abstract

About 3,000 youths under the age of 20 and 30,000 adults die each year in the United States from homicide, suicide, or accidents from firearms. The family members and friends of these victims are also adversely affected by their deaths. There are 200 million firearms, including 60 million handguns, owned by half of American households. Pediatricians are becoming involved in the effort to reduce the incidence of firearms-related injuries in children by educating parents, providing expertise regarding the health of children and adolescents, and serving as advocates in the political setting. As advocates, pediatricians strive to reduce the availability of guns to children and adolescents. Seventeen different approaches to reducing firearms-related injuries in youths are outlined. They include enforcement of existing laws, regulation under existing laws, owner liability for child use, mandatory education about gun safety in schools, increased sales tax on firearms, checks on background of firearm purchasers, changes in the ammunition design, changes in the gun design, ban of assault weapons, ban of handguns in areas where children are present, a general ban of handguns, regulation of long-term use and ownership of guns, regulation of toy gun construction, ban of plastic handguns or devices that resemble toy guns, laws to reduce lethality of non-powder firearms, and general child firearm safety laws. The benefits and disadvantages of these approaches are also listed. The use of several approaches may be most effective in reducing the incidence of firearm-related injuries in children.

Abstract

The proliferation of guns has led to increasing gun-related deaths. Shooting incidences have dramatically increased since 1987, with approximately 4,500 teenagers dying from gunshot wounds in 1991. Desensitization due to media portrayal of guns and lack of safeguards may be part of the problem.
