这项研究比较了他人造成的和自己造成的意外枪支死亡。数据来自国家暴力死亡报告系统，这是疾病控制和预防中心的一个新的监测系统。数据目前可从16个州和部分加州的不同年份2003-2006。在363起意外枪支死亡事件中，约有一半（49%）是其他原因造成的，从78%的儿童（0-14岁）死亡到19%的老年人（55岁以上）死亡。在其他造成的枪击死亡中，枪手绝大多数是年轻人（81%在25岁以下）。在其他人造成的死亡中，枪手主要是朋友（43%）或家人（47%）;兄弟是最常见的家庭枪手。为了学习如何防止意外伤害，不仅要了解受害者的信息，还要了解造成伤害的人的信息。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
This study compares other-inflicted and self-inflicted unintentional firearm fatalities. Data come from the National Violent Death Reporting System, a new surveillance system from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Data are currently available from 16 states and parts of California for various years 2003-2006. Of the 363 unintentional firearm fatalities, about half (49%) were other-inflicted, ranging from 78% of child (aged 0-14) deaths to 19% of older adult (aged 55+) deaths. In other-inflicted shooting deaths, the shooters were overwhelmingly young (81% under age 25). The shooters in the other-inflicted deaths were primarily friends (43%) or family (47%); brothers were the most common family shooter. To learn how to prevent unintentional injuries, it is critical to have information not only on the victim, but also on the person who inflicted the injury. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
