LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health April 7 released a multi-point gun violence prevention platform to address gun violence impacting communities in Los Angeles County and across the United States.
Using a public health approach to gun violence, the partners identified four key priority areas and accompanying strategies that will form the foundation of actions to be taken in 2023:
The platform was developed and will be implemented by a group of county and community partners including community and faith leaders, health care and mental health professionals, social service providers and public health practitioners. The platform was informed by data that consistently shows the impact of systemic racism in perpetuating a cycle of violence that leaves young Black and Brown men in LA County experiencing the highest rates of death by firearms.
The platform was released during Los Angeles County public health week.
