Firearm access and gun violence exposure among American Indian or Alaska Native and Black Adults
Objective:
To explore geodemographic differences in firearm behaviors and violence exposure among American Indian or Alaska Native and Black adults in the US.
Method:
In this survey study, nationally representative samples of adults who identified as American Indian or Alaska Native and/or Black were recruited from KnowledgePanel via Ipsos between April 12 and May 4, 2023. KnowledgePanel is a probability-based web panel developed to be representative of US adults. Individuals could identify with more than one racial identity, and as such, some individuals were nested within the results for both American Indian or Alaska Native and Black adults. The Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences Institutional Review Board approved the procedures, and all participants provided informed consent prior to completing the protocol.
