Cited in Scopus: 22Firearm violence is one of the most serious threats to the health of adolescents in the United States. In 2002, 277 youth aged 10 to 14 years and 2474 youth aged 15 to 19 years were killed by firearms [1]. Several-fold more are treated in emergency rooms each year for nonfatal injuries, many of them resulting in permanent disabilities. National estimates indicate that in 2003 there were 704 youth aged 10 to 14 years and 11,014 youth aged 15 to 19 years with emergency department visits for nonfatal gunshot injuries [1].
