CENTER FOR "RACE," CULTURE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE
COLLOQUIA SERIES With Ibraheem Karaye, MD, DrPH, MPH, CPH Assistant Professor of Population Health and Director of Health Science, Hofstra University
“Black-White Disparity in Firearm Mortality in New York State: An Analysis of Temporal Trends, 1999-2020” Partly due to its strict gun policies, New York has one of the lowest firearm death rates in the US. Yet, it is no exception to racial and ethnic disparities in firearm mortality. Join this discussion of a study that examined the black-white disparity in firearm mortality trends in New York state, based on 22-year mortality data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Wideranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research. Results and public health implications will be discussed. Professor Karaye's research broadly examines the physical and mental health impacts of injuries, mass trauma, and disasters on socially vulnerable populations, including racial and ethnic minorities, and older adults. His work also examines health disparities and the distribution of health outcomes globally and in the United States. Register in advance.
