Association Between the SaFETy Score and Self-reported Firearm Violence Among Young Adults Presenting to Emergency Departments in Three Cities: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract

Background:Firearm injuries-fatal and nonfatal-disproportionately affect younger Americans, have increased in recent years (1, 2), and are the leading cause of death among children and adolescents (3).The 4-item (fighting; friend weapon carrying; hearing gunshots in one's neighborhood; received firearm threats), 10-point SaFETy score is the only clinical screening tool specific to firearm violence (4).Yet, its association with firearm violence is unexamined outside of the single-site study (4) describing its development. Objective:To estimate the association between the SaFETy score and past 6-month self-reported firearm violence among young adults presenting to emergency departments (EDs) in 3 cities.
