Firearm-related injuries and deaths in the United States are a public health crisis. HHS remains committed to reducing the number of firearm-related injuries and deaths. As with other public health challenges, that means openly acknowledging the scope of the problem, updating the public on what we’re doing to reduce firearm-related injuries and deaths, and providing the most up-to-date available guidance to help the broader public navigate the crisis.   

Healthy People 2030 sets measurable objectives to improve the health and well-being of people across the United States — and provides tools and materials to help individuals and organizations achieve them. These tools include evidence-based resources (EBRs).
