Wax, J., Cartin, A., Craig, W., et al. (2019). U.S. Acute Care Hospital Shootings, 2012-2016: A Content Analysis Study. Work. 64(1):77-83.
The authors analyzed hospital shootings between 2012 and 2016, and found that they were more frequent during winter and summer and that the most common locations for violence involving firearms were emergency departments, patient rooms, and parking lots. The most common reasons for violence were grudges, suicide, or mental instability. Understanding the findings can help mitigate future violence.
