A latest study has found that US youth living in high-poverty areas are more likely to die from gun violence than peers living in more affluent areas,said an article published on the US News and World Report website.
《美国新闻与世界报道》网站上发表的一篇文章称,一项最新研究发现,生活在高度贫困地区的美国年轻人比生活在较富裕地区的同龄人更有可能死于枪支暴力。
Having analyzing data from 2006 to 2017, the study published in JAMA Pediatrics found that 62 percent of firearm-related deaths occurred in counties where the percentage of residents who lived below the federal poverty level was 15 percent or greater, the article released on Tuesday reported.
周二发表在《美国医学会杂志·儿科学》(JAMA Pediatrics)上的文章称,对2006年至2017年的数据进行分析后,该研究发现,62%与枪支有关的死亡发生在贫困地区,这些地区中生活在联邦贫困水平以下的居民比例为15%或更高。
According to the study, during that period, more than 67,000 youth between the ages of 5 and 24 were killed due to gun violence, and the annual rate of total firearm-related deaths among youth has increased from 8.5 for every 100,000 residents in 2007 to 9.2 deaths per 100,000 in 2016.
根据这项研究,在此期间67000多名5岁至24岁青年由于枪支暴力丧生,青年占死亡总人数的增长率从2007年的每100000居民8.5增加到2016年的每100000人9.2人死亡。
The study lead author Dr. Jefferson Barrett, according to the article, voiced his hope that the findings will encourage new approaches to addressing youth gun violence that focus on alleviating the socioeconomic issues that put them at greater risk.
该研究的主要作者巴雷特博士表示,他希望这些发现将鼓励解决青少年枪支暴力的新方法,专注于减轻使他们处于更大风险的社会经济问题。
