Abstract
Oral or Poster
Homicide remains a significant cause of mortality among children and adolescents in the U.S. This study evaluates racial and demographic trends in fatal homicides among children using data from CDC WISQARS database.
Data on homicides were extracted for individuals aged 0-19 years (2001-2020). Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) per 100,000 were determined, and analyses were conducted using Mann-Kendall trend-test and ANOVA.
The overall AAMR among individuals aged 0-19 years was 3.46. Male mortality was higher than females (5.17 vs. 1.66, p<0.001) (Table 1). A downward mortality trend was observed among females (
Despite an overall decline in homicide rate among certain subgroups, disparities persist based on sex, location, and race. Firearm-related homicide remains a critical concern, showing no significant decline.
