Episode 12 - The 3A's Framework for Reducing Firearm Injury

The 3A’s Framework (Approach, Assess, Act), developed by the BulletPoints Project, is designed to guide clinicians through the process of identifying patients at risk for firearm-related harm and reducing their risk through appropriate interventions.

In this webinar, Dr. Amy Barnhorst will introduce the 3A's Framework and discuss how it can be used to build rapport with patients and to collaborate on realistic and acceptable plans to reduce their risk of firearm injury.

Mark your calendar for every third Tuesday of the month at noon PT for more brief talks on firearm injury prevention.
