Aiming for Prevention
Aiming for Prevention is a global health campaign to prevent injury and suffering from firearm violence. Toward this end, IPPNW's campaign sets out to: • Draw world attention to the health and humanitarian consequences of small arms; • Mobilize physicians and health professionals to work for preventive programs and policies; • Improve understanding of the problem and effective solutions through credible public health research; • Provide evidence-based policy suggestions for limiting the impact of small arms; • Create a sustained health capacity at multiple levels to detect, prevent, and monitor small arms injury. General coordination is provided by Maria Valenti (mvalenti@ippnw.org) in the IPPNW Central Office in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
