Firearm Access Among Military-Connected Youth: A Systematic Review
Current evidence suggests that military-connected youth may be at increased risk for firearm carrying, which portends higher risk for firearm injury, including suicide. However, there are substantial gaps in the literature, particularly regarding firearm access and storage. Future study of military-connected youth should prioritize comprehensive data collection, to inform and optimize effective interventions designed to benefit military-connected youth.
