- Abstract
This article discusses the association between the SaFETy score, a clinical screening tool for firearm violence, and self-reported firearm violence among young adults in three cities. The study found that higher SaFETy scores were associated with higher rates of firearm violence, victimization, and aggression. Additionally, individuals with higher SaFETy scores had a higher prevalence of firearm violence in the past 6 months. The findings suggest that the SaFETy score may be useful in identifying individuals at risk for firearm violence and allocating preventive resources, but further research is needed to validate the findings and determine the effectiveness of the SaFETy score in preventing firearm violence.
