Abstract

Published research suggests the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated already increasing rates of overall US firearm mortality. Descriptive comparisons of 2019 to 2020 mortality data suggest this early trend was driven by homicides and urban firearm deaths. However, to our knowledge, no study has quantified excess intent- and urbanization-stratified US firearm deaths throughout the pandemic using inferential statistical methods. We estimate overall and intent- and urbanization-stratified excess US firearm mortality throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
