Trends in firearm death among middle and high-school aged rural and urban adolescents from 2001 to 2022

Prevention strategies should be informed by developmental stage and include violence and injury prevention efforts in all areas as well as developmentally and culturally appropriate suicide prevention approaches in rural areas.
