note = "Funding Information: The American Public Health Association (APHA) was represented by its President, Pamela Aaltonen, PhD, RN, who opened by thanking all of the participants for being partners in defining this as a public health issue, and recognizing Dr Linda Degutis in the audience, who has been a cornerstone of their injury prevention work. The APHA has been advocating for funding for both CDC and Health Resources and Services Administration and working to counteract the Dickey Amendment. They have advocacy efforts on a national, as well as state and local level. They have published both editorials and position statements. The APHA passed a policy at the last governing council in November focused on reducing suicides by firearms, and that is available on our website ( www.apha.org ). ",
