This is the first report issued in the state to be derived from the New Mexico Department of Health’s Emergency Department-New Mexico Firearm Injury Surveillance System. In 2000, when gun-related injuries became a reportable condition, the Department of Health established the surveillance system to help track non-fatal injuries caused by guns as a starting point to become better informed on how to prevent them.
