179: LISTENER FAVORITE: Gun Violence Statistics and How Changes Can be Made with Violence Epidemiologist, Dr. Katelyn Jetelina
Over the next few months, I’ll be mixing in some of our earlier Motherhood Meets Medicine interviews with new episodes. These ‘best of’ episodes are the most shared and listened to episodes of all time!
Here is today’s featured episode with Dr. Katelyn Jetelina, listen as she talks about gun violence and the changes that need to be made.
Gun violence has become a devastating problem in the United States. To put it into perspective, there’s about 120 firearms per 100 people in the United States. It may feel like we have no control over making changes, but there are steps that we can take. The number one place to start is educating ourselves about gun violence. We need to know more about it, and understand how we can reduce these fatalities in our everyday culture.
We all want to make our country safer for our children and for ourselves. That’s why I’m bringing Dr. Katelyn Jetelina on the podcast. In this episode Dr. Katelyn Jetelina and I discuss statistics, demographics of shooters, how the stats in the United States compares to other countries, and so much more.
Dr. Katelyn Jetelina is a violence epidemiologist, biostatistician, wife, and mom of two little girls. During the day she works at a nonpartisan health policy think tank and is engaged as a scientific communication consultant by the CDC, and at night she writes an independent newsletter called Your Local Epidemiologist, which covers a wide array of public health topics including gun violence.
In this episode we discuss:
The definition of what a mass shooting is.
Why the United States is higher in gun violence than many other countries it’s often compared to.
What the purpose of the leakage plans are.
The most common motivation behind shootings.
Whether or not the effect of Roe V Wade will play into more gun violence in the future.
What individuals can do to help reduce gun violence.
