This study used the New York State hospital discharge database to look for factors associated with being the victim of repeat gun violence.
Unanswered questions include: is it similar in other areas, what interventions at the patient level could prevent this, what other patient level factors (substance use, etc) are involved, however, this is a good start in looking at this preventable disease.
