📢 New research! 📢 In 2024, MAGA Republicans were much more likely than non-MAGA non-Republicans to view political violence as justified and to endorse beliefs associated with violence, but they were generally not more willing to commit such violence themselves. cvp.ucdavis.edu/research/pre...

📢 New research! 📢 The small minority of Americans who say they would likely be combatants in civil war are open to change. We can prevent political violence by urging non-violent approaches + being vocal in our rejection of political violence. cvp.ucdavis.edu/research/pub...

"Sacramento residents want real public safety — not just more policing" is a new op ed by CVP researcher Julia Lund in @sacbee.com www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-e...

"Wintemute pointed to research that shows would-be participants in #PoliticalViolence can be dissuaded by 'trusted messengers,' incl religious leaders, members of the media, + even family+friends[...] 'lots that people can do to prevent PV from taking us over.'" www.newyorker.com/newsletter/t...

A4 #NPHWchat Healthy living is rooted in safer communities, which can require interrupting cycles of violence. HVIPs like UC Davis Health Wraparound program extend care beyond the hospital to support long-term healing + recovery, help patients find hope + purpose health.ucdavis.edu/injurypreven...

A3 #NPHWchat We're still learning about climate change and violence, but like extreme weather, "firearm violence does not happen only to people; it happens to places". Mitigating both requires strengthening communities, addressing social + structural determinants. cvp.ucdavis.edu/research/soc...

Q2 For too long, research stayed in the ivory tower, but we're striving to change that. We work in service of, with, and accountable to communities, ensuring that what we learn through research is more meaningful, applicable, and accessible to those who can benefit from it. #NPHWchat

A1 #NPHWchat Looking back, since '89 we've used CA’s unique Dealer's Record of Sale data to conduct research on gun violence that couldn’t be done anywhere else. But EVERYONE deserves good data. Moving forward, we encourage other states to develop similar datasets and access for researchers.

A1 Addressing firearm violence via the public health approach has itself been a major advancement in our area of injury prevention, paving the way for action. The Surgeon General’s 2024 Advisory was a landmark declaration to this effect. #NPHWchat cvp.ucdavis.edu/news/firearm...
