Factors Associated With Firearm Injury Among Pediatric Members of a Large Integrated Healthcare System.

Background And Objectives: Few studies have tested multiple socio-ecological risk factors assocated with firearm injury among pediatric populations and distinguished self-inflicted from non-self-inflicted injury. To address this gap, the current study examined demographic, individual psychosocial, and neighborhood variables as risk factors for firearm injury among a large cohort of children and adolescents.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study.
