Congratulations toDr. Elizabeth Weybright and her co-investigator, Dr. Ashley Hall, who are receiving a grant of $32,000 from Grandmothers Against Gun Violence Foundation (GAGVF) to support their project, “We get access from our parents: Firearm Safety Practices of Rural Families in Washington State.”
Dr. Fred Rivara was mentioned in a recent New York Times article titled "In Homes With Children, Even Loaded Guns Are Often Left Unsecured". Read the full article here.
Dr. Ali Rowhani-Rahbar participated in a Q&A as part of Gun Violence Awareness Month where he discussed extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs) and how a new grant is helping to study them. Read the full interview here.
