DESCRIPTION:Across the nation, Americans are taking a fresh look at gun violence in the aftermath of the Newtown shooting&mdash;and the Aurora shooting, and the Portland shooting, and the Seattle shooting. In seeking ways to prevent such tragedies, this forum lays out a public-health approach to gun violence&mdash;tracing the extent of the problem, exploring evidence-based solutions, considering mental-health aspects and new alternatives, discussing new policies in Seattle-King County and Washington state&mdash;and considering what each of us can do. After an introduction by <strong>Dr. Howard Frumkin</strong>, Dean of the University of Washington School of Public Health, panelists <strong>David Fleming</strong>, director of Public Health Seattle-King County; <strong>Dr. Frederick Rivara</strong>, UW Professor of Pediatrics and Epidemiology; <strong>Amnon Shoenfeld</strong>, director of King County's Mental Health, Chemical Abuse and Dependency Services Division;<strong> Beth Ebel</strong>, Director of the Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center; and Seattle City Councilmember <strong>Sally Bagshaw</strong> offer local perspectives on a national crisis.
