Article Synopsis
- Firearm injuries are the leading cause of death for children in the U.S., prompting some states to implement Child Access Prevention (CAP) laws to reduce these incidents.
- The study analyzed data from 12,853 pediatric firearm injuries between 2016 and 2021, comparing states with no CAP laws, some CAP laws, and strict CAP laws.
- Results indicated that in states with strict CAP laws, injured children tended to be older and from higher-income households, suggesting that stricter regulations may correlate with reduced injury rates.
