About The Study: This study found racial and ethnic differences in firearm-related deaths of U.S. youths, with the highest overall burden and recent increase among Black youths. The large increase in firearm-related mortality between 2019 and 2020 may be related to the COVID-19 pandemic and social unrest; further follow-up is needed to see if this trend continues.
