A Critique of the Epidemiologic Study of Firearms and HomicideNational Rifle Association Public health professionals have called for the use of epidemiologic methods to study violence, particularly firearm-related homicide. This literature review uses epidemiology texts to evaluate the extent to which public health research has complied with epidemiologic methodology, focusing primarily on the two medical journals publishing most extensively on the topic. Most studies and reports surveyed failed in at least one way to observe basic standards of the science of epidemiology.
