This month CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics released the final mortality data for 2023. All gun death data, based on death certificates for U.S. residents, is available through CDC’s Underlying Cause of Death database, part of the Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (WONDER) online database; researchers, advocates, practitioners, and other members involved in the GVP community can use this database as a resource to highlight the ongoing gun violence epidemic across the country, identify the latest gun death trends, and utilize the data to recommend evidence-based solutions.
Last fall Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions analyzed the provisional 2023 data and provided five takeaways, including the continued rise of gun suicides and the impact of gun violence on vulnerable demographic groups. More information can be found here.
