Within-Person Variability in Firearm Carriage Among High-Risk Youth
Youth who carry firearms—and peers that surround them—are at increased risk for violent injuries.

Violence is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality for youth, with more than 600,000 emergency department visits annually for assault-related injuries. Risk for criminal justice involvement among this population is poorly understood. The objective of this study was to characterize arrests among high-risk, assault-injured, drug-using youth following emergency department treatment.
