Firearm injuries are now the leading cause of death among U.S. children and teens following a huge decadelong rise.

Key Points: 
  • Firearm injuries are now the leading cause of death among U.S. children and teens following a huge decadelong rise.
  • Analyses published on Oct. 5, 2023, by a research team in Boston found an 87% increase in firearm-involved fatalities among Americans under the age of 18 from 2011 to 2021.

Trends in firearm deaths

    • This data also provides information on whether firearm deaths were the result of homicide, suicide or unintentional shootings.
    • Whereas the proportion of youth firearm-involved deaths due to unintentional shootings is typically highest during childhood, the share of gun deaths due to suicide peaks in adolescence.
    • Racial disparities in firearm deaths, which have been present for multiple generations, are also expanding, research shows.
    • More research is needed to fully understand why firearm-involved deaths are universally increasing across homicide, suicide and unintentional deaths.

How to reduce gun fatalities

    • Data shows that only one-third of firearm-owning households with teens in the U.S. currently store all their firearms unloaded and locked.
    • Reducing the number of young people who carry and use firearms in risky ways is another key step to prevent firearm deaths among children and teens.
    • Existing hospital- and community-based prevention services support this work by identifying and enrolling youth at risk in programs that reduce violence involvement, the carrying of firearms and risky firearm behaviors.

Support structures

    • In addition to ongoing focused prevention efforts, hospital-, school- and community-based interventions that support youth in advancing social, emotional, mental, physical and financial health can reduce the risk of firearm deaths.
    • Allocating resources toward these initiatives is an investment in every community member’s safety.
    • Over the past decade, we have seen an 87% increase in firearm-involved fatalities among children and teens in the United States.
