Content assessment and readability of online injury prevention resources on firearm safety: a cross-sectional analysis of hospital and national injury prevention literature
Few OIPRs meet recommended readability guidelines and often fail to address key topics such as child safety or safe handling of firearms. This gap in accessible educational information highlights the need for standardized resources to reduce firearm injury. Future research should aim to improve these resources to ensure usability and effective outreach to our communities.
