Gun Violence is a Public Health Issue
September 27-28, 2023
Toronto ON
The 2023 Forum theme is Gun Violence is a Public Health Issue. Firearm injury and death rates have been increasing steadily in Canada over the decade. Canada ranks 9th of 36 OECD countries for firearm mortality. Gun violence affects all segments of society, as there are several forms of gun violence (including suicide, femicide, interpersonal violence and public mass shootings) each with its own unique epidemiology, risk factors and harm reduction strategies. Our panel of experts will look at a multi-pronged approach including investments to address the social determinants of health and, efforts to end the proliferation of guns. A public health approach with a focus on community engagement, public education and evidence informed policy is imperative to reducing harm.
This event will assist health care providers to have informed and meaningful conversations with patients, families and communities affected by gun violence. Participants will learn about risk reduction strategies in the context of their own practice as well as the necessity of evidence-informed advocacy. The content is presented in a thought-provoking manner that will stimulate further scholarly work, development of programming for learners and scientific enquiry.
