About The Study: This cross-sectional study revealed high attrition rates among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) medical students, with the highest observed among LGB Hispanic male and female students. Our findings highlight the importance of intersectionality in understanding attrition from medical school. Although future studies need to examine the cause of these disparities in attrition, LGB students experience discrimination within medical training environments, which may lead to risk of attrition.

About The Study: This study found that parent-reported firearm storage may be a poor estimator of teen perceived firearm access, regardless of teen gender, parental education, and urbanicity. Strictly focusing safety efforts on locked and unloaded firearm storage may not fully negate teen’s perceptions that they can access and load household firearms. Storing additional firearms securely may not prevent teen access if at least 1 household firearm remains unlocked.
