Federal Officials Voice Support for Research on Gun Violence, AACN Joins with Partners


Following the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida last week, Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Alex Azar  the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health that gun violence research is a priority for the department. However, the proposed a cut of $19.2 million, or 6.7%, from Fiscal Year 2017 levels for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, responsible for leading research on violence prevention. are increasingly asking to reexamine public health policies.
