Preventing Intimate Partner Homicide with Red Flag Laws

Over half of all female homicide victims in the United States are killed with a gun, most often by an intimate partner. In this episode, University of Michigan School of Public Health researcher April Zeoli explores how firearm policy—specifically red flag laws and firearm restrictions as part of domestic violence protective orders—can play a crucial role in preventing domestic violence tragedies, particularly intimate partner homicide.  Zeoli explains Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) and Domestic Violence Protective Orders, how they work in practice when it comes to firearm violence prevention, and how proper implementation can make a life-saving difference. ----- Learn more about the University of Michigan School of Public Health: publichealth.umich.edu [https://publichealth.umich.edu] Follow us on social media: * Facebook | facebook.com/umichsph [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=channel_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbTRCWS1MZ3RCRER2QXVCdmlpeWM3aXdId2VKUXxBQ3Jtc0tsbDhQY3cxVlJ6MnpMQ2lHRUt6YmpzUjhvWkpVRVN4cVJGbWV4YVljY1Nhc2ZfSXNxZ3Y3N21VT01xV2ZfRm5CUUd2cWVKUUlnZ2FFdFFTVDZQUGtuTjVCVGFTREliWk8xbl91S0RCSG11SlYtWG96dw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fumichsph%2F] * Instagram | instagram.com/umichsph [https://instagram.com/umichsph] * LinkedIn | linkedin.com/school/university-of-michigan-school-of-public-health [https://linkedin.com/school/university-of-michigan-school-of-public-health] * X | x.com/umichsph [https://x.com/umichsph] * YouTube | youtube.com/sphweb [https://youtube.com/sphweb] Discover Michigan Public Health's degree programs, sign up for our interest list [https://sph.umich.edu/prospective-students/index.html].

Commemorating a milestone: The 70th anniversary of the polio vaccine announcement

Welcome to a special live episode of Population Healthy, recorded in front of an enthusiastic audience at the University of Michigan. We mark a historic moment—70 years since the game-changing announcement of the polio vaccine's success on April 12, 1955, right here in Ann Arbor, Michigan, at Rackham Auditorium, led by the groundbreaking work of Thomas Francis, Jr., and Jonas Salk. We invited two renowned experts: Professor Matt Boulton, and Natasha Bagdasarian, Chief Medical Executive for the State of Michigan, to explore the development and impact of the Salk polio vaccine and its ongoing relevance. Join us as we reflect on that pivotal day and the global joy and relief that followed, as polio's devastating effects could finally be curtailed. ----- Learn more about the University of Michigan School of Public Health: publichealth.umich.edu [https://publichealth.umich.edu] Follow us on social media: * Facebook | facebook.com/umichsph [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=channel_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbTRCWS1MZ3RCRER2QXVCdmlpeWM3aXdId2VKUXxBQ3Jtc0tsbDhQY3cxVlJ6MnpMQ2lHRUt6YmpzUjhvWkpVRVN4cVJGbWV4YVljY1Nhc2ZfSXNxZ3Y3N21VT01xV2ZfRm5CUUd2cWVKUUlnZ2FFdFFTVDZQUGtuTjVCVGFTREliWk8xbl91S0RCSG11SlYtWG96dw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fumichsph%2F] * Instagram | instagram.com/umichsph [https://instagram.com/umichsph] * LinkedIn | linkedin.com/school/university-of-michigan-school-of-public-health [https://linkedin.com/school/university-of-michigan-school-of-public-health] * X | x.com/umichsph [https://x.com/umichsph] * YouTube | youtube.com/sphweb [https://youtube.com/sphweb] Discover Michigan Public Health's degree programs, sign up for our interest list [https://sph.umich.edu/prospective-students/index.html].
