DESCRIPTION:Ali Rowhani-Rahbar\, PhD\, MD\, MPH\n\nProfessor of Epidemiolog
 y | Department of Epidemiology | School of Public Health\n\nUniversity of 
 Washington\n\nWhere: Virtual | Zoom\n\nAbstract\n\nGun violence is a subst
 antial public health and public safety problem. Globally\, about 250\,000 
 individuals die each year from injuries inflicted with firearms. Many more
  individuals sustain nonfatal but life-altering firearm injuries or are ex
 posed to the trauma caused using firearms. Challenges in availability and 
 accessibility of data on firearms along with insufficient funding have cre
 ated notable obstacles for conducting rigorous epidemiologic research. As 
 such\, some investigators have sought to develop creative solutions to par
 tially overcome a number of these limitations. This presentation summarize
 s some of the methodological challenges and opportunities unique to this f
 ield of scholarship and their implications for prevention and policy.\n\nL
 earning Objectives\n\n\n	Describe challenges in measuring the burden of gun
  violence through surveillance\n	Identify approaches to estimate gun owners
 hip at different spatial units\n	Explain the impact of restrictions in data
  availability on causal inference using gun violence as a case study\n\n\n
