• Description:
  Firearm violence is a global public health problem with low- and middle-income countries contributing over three-fourths of all firearm-related deaths. Epidemiological differences in firearm-related outcomes, such as mortality, arise due to a complex web of biopsychosocial risk factors. Legal access to firearms is an important and modifiable factor. Laws controlling access, possession, and use of firearms are associated with fewer firearm deaths, though empirical studies have been limited to high-income countries, particularly the United States (US). We assessed associations between firearm regulations and firearm-related mortality across countries.
