My Surgeon General’s Advisory on Firearm Violence outlines the devastating impact of firearm violence on Americans. Firearm violence is pervasive: a staggering 54% of adults report they or their families have experienced a firearm-related incident. Surgeongeneral.gov/firearm-violen…
NEW: Today, for the first time in the history of our office, I am issuing a Surgeon General’s Advisory on Firearm Violence. Firearm violence is a public health crisis in America that poses a serious threat to the health and well-being of our country. Surgeongeneral.gov/firearm-violen… 1/10
For nearly 15 years, the Health Alliance for Violence Intervention (HAVI) has championed hospital-based violence intervention programs (#HVIPs) as a critical #publichealth strategy for reducing violence, especially in communities of color. Together we can end the disproportionate…
Honored to be a part of the multidisciplinary #gunviolence #research at the Comprehensive Injury Center. This work naturally falls at our team’s intersection of expertise in trauma psychology, public health, and criminology, to name a few. #SAVIR2024 @cicatmcw @MKETraumaDoc…
📢TOMORROW📢 Mixed method implementation evaluation of #414Life being presented tomorrow to highlight our participatory approach for this #gunviolence intervention and prevention program @cicatmcw @CarissaWTomas #SAVIR2024
Conference juices are flowing! Mentee-Mentor pre-symposium practice time. 📢Catch us tomorrow at “Community to individual impact: Epidemiological to clinical research in firearm injury prevention” @ 10:30am #SAVIR2024 @cicatmcw @AmberBrandolino @CarissaWTomas
Sydney Timmer-Murillo will be teaching the PTSD course. The TCAA Conference in Nashville is the perfect time to take one of our signature courses! For more information, costs, & registration, please visit eventsquid.com/event.cfm?id=2… #TCAA #SignatureCourses
Among Black trauma survivors, exposure to racial discrimination (RD) predicts future PTSD symptoms. In a new @BrainBehavImm paper, we investigated whether alterations to pro-inflammatory and antiviral transcription control pathways helped explain this association.
Catch our 414 Life team in the TMJ4 special "Beyond the Bullet" tonight at 6:30! tmj4.com/news/beyond-th… 414 Life is a community- & hospital-based violence intervention program that works to address & prevent the harms of gun violence and community violence in MKE. #BeInjuryFree
We hope to be part of the solution to publish papers about #DEI in #trauma (and all of acute care surgery). Proud to partner w/ #SAFERtrauma conference. See call for “Combating Disparities in Trauma and Acute Care Surgery” Topic Collection. tsaco.bmj.com/pages/topic-co…
So much work to do in the #DEI space in trauma care. Real progress was made today at #SAFERTrauma to figure out how to move this forward. What can we do together? Amazing speakers included @CBerryTraumaMD @CherylZoggPhD @bulgercot @AndrewOberle @JosephSakran @susanercronn
That’s a wrap on Day 1 of #SAFERTrauma We are stronger together! @NatTrauma @vanessapho @ATSTrauma @traumadoctors @EAST_TRAUMA @TSACO_AAST

As lifetime trauma increases, risk for future PTSD also increases. But is there a modifiable factor linking the two?? ‼️ our new @MilwaukeeTrauma paper did a deeper dive into the relationship between trauma history and new onset PTSD. doi.org/10.1002/jts.22…
