在美国，涉枪杀人案正在增加，涉枪杀人案是种族健康差异的一个关键驱动因素。其中一个很少受到关注的差异是，相对于非拉美裔白人，拉美裔人的枪支杀人率过高；全面描述这种差异是本简短报告的目的。使用CDC WONDER的数据，我们研究了美国西班牙裔和非西班牙裔白人之间枪支杀人率差异的时间趋势（2012-2021年）。重点关注最近上升的比率（2018-2021年），我们估计了人口统计学（性别、年龄、城市化和种族）和美国各州之间的这种差异。这些数据清楚地表明，相对于非西班牙裔白人，拉美裔人几乎普遍存在过度枪支杀人的现象，在男性、年轻群体和大都市地区之间的差异更大。同样，几乎所有的州都显示，西班牙裔美国人的枪支杀人率高于非西班牙裔白人，尽管差异的幅度差别很大。
Firearm homicides are increasing in the United States, and firearm homicides are a critical driver of racial health disparities. One such disparity that has received limited attention is excess firearm homicides among Hispanics, relative to White Non-Hispanics; comprehensively characterising this disparity is the purpose of this brief report. Using data from CDC WONDER, we examined temporal trends (2012–2021) in firearm homicide rate disparities between Hispanics and White Non-Hispanics in the U.S. Focusing on recently elevated rates (2018–2021), we estimated this disparity across demographics (gender, age, urbanicity, and race), and across U.S. states. These data clearly show nearly universal excess firearm homicide among Hispanics, relative to White Non-Hispanics, with larger differences among men, younger age groups, and in metropolitan areas. Similarly, nearly all states show higher rates of firearm homicide among Hispanics, relative to White Non-Hispanics, though the magnitude of the difference varies substantially.
