On June 2, 2011, the Governor of the state of Florida signed into law “An Act Relating to Privacy of Firearms Owners.”1 The bill reads in part as follows: “inquiries regarding firearm ownership or possession should not be made by licensed health care practitioners or health care facilities.” Medical providers are allowed to make inquiries about firearms if there are concerns for the safety of the patient or others (e.g., if the patient is actively suicidal), but otherwise asking about firearm ownership violates the principle of this new law, including such inquires during a primary care visit, and asking in these settings will “constitute grounds for disciplinary action.” This bill limits physicians' ability to inquire about unsafe firearm storage and use, which are important behavioral risk factors for injury and death.Effectiveness of Ignition Interlocks for Preventing Alcohol-Impaired Driving and Alcohol-Related Crashes: A Community Guide Systematic Review
A systematic review of the literature to assess the effectiveness of ignition interlocks for reducing alcohol-impaired driving and alcohol-related crashes was conducted for the Guide to Community Preventive Services (Community Guide). Because one of the primary research issues of interest—the degree to which the installation of interlocks in offenders' vehicles reduces alcohol-impaired driving in comparison to alternative sanctions (primarily license suspension)—was addressed by a 2004 systematic review conducted for the Cochrane Collaboration, the current review incorporates that previous work and extends it to include more recent literature and crash outcomes.
