Our Work

The Commission’s research agenda responds to a number of evidence gaps on global gun violence and health organized around key themes including:

(1) Injury Burden due to Global Gun Violence

(2) Cost and Economics of Global Gun Violence and Health

(3) Politics, Power, and Political Economy of Global Gun Violence

(4) Social, Economic, and Commercial Determinants of Global Gun Violence and Health

(5) Legal Determinants and Laws on Global Gun Violence

(6) Interventions & Effectiveness for Global Gun Violence and Health

(7) Community Action and Case Studies of Global Gun Violence and Health

The Commission will produce a report that will be independently peer reviewed prior to publication in The Lancet, and intends to publish additional papers that complement the report, host seminars and workshops, and foster meaningful public engagement with academics, policymakers, and civil society. The Commission’s work will encourage mutual learning and amplify the impact of global gun violence on the health and welfare of millions of people.
