To the Editor.— Professionals in pediatric medicine can be effective in preventing firearm injuries to children. In addition to influencing gun control legislation, pediatricians can promote gun safety awareness through counseling and education, and we believe that a pediatrician counseling adolescents or parents of younger children regarding handgun policy will be more persuasive by being more authoritative. It has been suggested that pediatricians counseling patients about home safety issues include education about the risks of keeping guns in the home.1

Look Ahead

There was a little man, and he had a little gun, And his bullets were made of lead, lead, lead; He went to the brook, and he saw a little duck, And he shot it through the head, head, head. —Mother Goose Four decades ago, Harry Dietrich,1 a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics' newly established Accident Prevention Committee, described a developmentally based approach to the prevention of childhood injury. Dietrich stressed the great need for protection ("passive immunization") for the young child and for safety education ("active immunization") as the child matures. It was also in the early 1950s that George Wheatley, the first chairman of the Accident Prevention Committee, popularized the "three E's"2—education, enforcement, and engineering—as a framework for developing and categorizing strategies to prevent injuries.

In the United States approximately 30 000 people die from firearm injuries each year. Many more are wounded. In the mid 1980s, more than 3000 of the dead were children and adolescents aged 1 to 19 years.1 In 1989 nearly 4000 firearm deaths were among children 1 to 19 years of age, accounting for 12% of all deaths in that age group.2 All of these deaths or injuries affect other children because the victims who are killed or wounded are frequently relatives, neighbors, or friends. Comparison data for childhood age groups demonstrate that in 1987, 203 children aged 1 to 9 years, 484 children aged 10 to 14 years, and 2705 adolescents aged 15 to 19 years died as a result of firearm injuries.1 Firearm deaths include unintentional injuries, homicides, and suicides. Among the 1- to 9-year-olds, half of the deaths were homicides and half were unintentional. Among the 10- to 14-year-olds, one third of the deaths were homicides, one third were suicides, and one third were unintentional. Among the 15- to 19-year-olds, 48% were homicides, 42% were suicides, and 8% were unintentional.1 Firearm homicides are the leading cause of death for some US subpopulations, such as urban black male adolescents and young adults.3 Table 1 indicates how firearms contributed to the deaths of children and adolescents (homicides, suicides, and all causes) in 1987. Table 2 illustrates the unusual scale of firearm violence affecting young people in the United States compared with other developed nations.4 Firearm injuries are the fourth leading cause of unintentional injury deaths to children younger than 15 years of age in the US.5

A basic framework for developing an advocacy plan must systematically break down the large task of policy development implementation into manageable components. The basic framework described in detail in this paper includes three steps: • Setting policy objectives by narrowing the scope of policy, by reviewing policy options, and by examining options against selected criteria. • Developing strategies for educating the public and for approaching legislative/regulatory bodies. • Evaluating the effectiveness of the advocacy action plan as a process and as an agent for change. To illustrate the variety of ways in which pediatricians can be involved in the policy process to reduce violent injuries among children and adolescents, we apply this systematic approach to three priority areas. • Prohibiting the use of corporal punishment in schools is intended to curb the institutionalized legitimacy of violence that has been associated with future use of violence. • Efforts to remove handguns from the environments of children and adolescents are aimed at reducing the numbers of firearm injuries inflicted upon and by minors. • Comprehensive treatment of adolescent victims of assault is intended to decrease the reoccurrence of violent injuries.
