为了评估家庭对枪击事件和枪支所有权的经历和态度，在一家城市医院采访了208名5至12岁的儿童，242名家长填写了一份问卷。43%的父母和25%的孩子对枪击事件有个人了解。在父母中，10%的人拥有枪支，其中只有21%被安全储存。拥有枪支在有成年男性居民的家庭（14%）比没有成年男性的家庭（3%）更常见。大多数儿童（81%）玩枪，20%至25%的儿童更喜欢暴力电视节目，游戏和玩具。父母和孩子对枪支和儿童枪战的态度并不因母亲的教育水平、医疗保健的支付方式或地点、收入或接触枪击而有所不同。与其他儿童相比，个人了解枪击事件的儿童更经常表示害怕被枪击（52%对31%）。我们研究人群中的儿童在玩枪和对枪支使用的态度方面是相似的，尽管他们有不同的社会经济背景和枪击事件。
To assess families' experiences with shootings and firearm ownership and attitudes, 208 children aged 5 to 12 years were interviewed and 242 parents filled out a questionnaire, all at an urban hospital. Forty-three percent of the parents and 25% of the children had personal knowledge of shootings. Of the parents, 10% owned guns, of which only 21 % were stored safely. Gun ownership was more common in homes with resident adult males (14%) than in those with no adult males (3%). Most children (81%) played with guns, and 20% to 25% preferred violent TV shows, games, and toys. Parents' and children's attitudes toward firearms and children's gun play did not differ by level of mother's education; method of payment for, or site of, health care; income; or exposure to shootings. Children with personal knowledge of shootings more often expressed fears of being shot than did other children (52% vs 31%). The children in our study population were similar in their gun play and attitudes about gun use despite disparate socioeconomic backgrounds and exposure to shootings.
