While you were sleeping : success stories in injury & violence prevention

Hemenway has written six books, most recently Private Guns, Public Health and scores of peer-reviewed journal articles on public health topics such as motor vehicle crashes, falls, fractures, fires, suicides and child abuse. Much of his current work concerns firearms. Hemenway is studying the effects of gun carrying; how guns are stored and whether training can improve storage practices; the external costs and benefits of gun ownership; the use of guns in self-defense; gun use among adolescents; guns on college campuses; the relationship between gun prevalence and homicide, suicide and unintentional gun deaths; and the effects of changes in the legal drinking age on youth violence.
