This marks the launch of our 3rd e-book in the Adult Guide: Health Screening and Prevention line: Gun Screening in the Doctor’s Office! This pamphlet focuses on medical screening for gun violence. It’s designed to help you understand your rights, why doctors may be asking you about gun ownership and domestic violence issues, and how that information can be used.

When we released the original Health Screening and Prevention guide, we expected the gun violence screening section to be one of the most controversial parts of the book. Our nation has suffered from a wave of violent shootings in recent years, and the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) has introduced new controversy into the debate over doctors’ roles in helping screen for and prevent gun violence and dangerous incidences of mental health disorders.

This book is streamlined to focus on the reasons for screening while also providing information on the laws and regulations surrounding the practice. Medical screening for potential gun violence in on the rise, and while it is not mandated by the government many doctors consider it their professional duty to speak with their patients about potential risk factors and possible solutions.

We’ll be releasing these “mini-e-books” for each of the major chapters covered in the big e-book, and we’ll continue to update you here each time a new release goes live. Until then, we hope you find this guidebook to be useful!
