His argument is specious,” said Matthew Miller, professor of health sciences and epidemiology at Northeastern University and codirector of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center. Viral map shows election results from 2016, not totals of guns, shootings The post also fails to specify what it means by “gun violence” – which can include homicides, suicides or accidental shootings, said Dr. Matthew Miller, a professor at Northeastern University who has researched gun violence. MedScape Researchers Probe ‘Systematic Error’ in Gun Injury Data For the new study, Matthew Miller, MD, ScD, MPH, of Northeastern University and the Harvard Injury Control Research Center in Boston, and his colleagues examined how International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes may misclassify the intent behind gunshot injuries. Americans bought at least 150m guns in decade since Sandy Hook shooting While there’s lots of interest in the eye-popping total number of guns in the US, “what matters is how these guns are distributed across people and households”, said Matthew Miller, a Northeastern University professor who specializes in firearm research, and what that distribution means for their increased risk of gun suicide, homicide or accidental injury. The Pandemic May Have Changed Gun Ownership In America For The Long Haul Research also shows higher risks for violence in homes with guns, especially homicides committed by men against women, according to Matthew Miller, a professor at Northeastern University who studies gun violence and suicide prevention. The Conversation How easy access to guns at home contributes to America’s youth suicide problem Written by Matthew Miller, Professor of Health Sciences and Epidemiology at Northeastern University, and Deborah Azrael, Director of Research, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Women in homes with guns owned by others are at higher risk to die by suicide, study says “The question that we wanted to get the answer to was how does a woman’s suicide risk change when someone that she’s living with in a gun-free home becomes a new hand gun owner?” said Dr. Matthew Miller, the lead author of the study and a professor at Northeastern University.

The Crime Report Women, Guns and Suicide The lead author, Dr. Matthew Miller, a professor of epidemiology at Northeastern University, compared it to analyzing second-hand risks associated with smoking. “The question we tried to address is what happens to a woman’s suicide risk when someone she lives with her brings a handgun into their gun-free home for the first time,” he said in a […] San Francisco Chronicle Women in homes with handguns are at 50% higher risk for suicide, study finds “The question we tried to address is what happens to a woman’s suicide risk when someone she lives with brings a handgun into their gun-free home for the first time. The answer: her chances of dying by suicide increases by more than 40%,” Dr. Matthew Miller, a professor of epidemiology at Northeastern University and the […] Matthew Miller for Northeastern Global News The research is clear: White people are not more likely than Black people to be killed by police. The research is clear: White people are not more likely than Black people to be killed by police. When President Donald Trump responded to a question about Black people who have died at the hands of U.S. law enforcement by focusing his attention on white victims, he was engaging in a “grotesque” misdirection, says Matt Miller, a Northeastern professor who studies gun violence. “Black people are more likely to be killed per capita by law enforcement than are white people,” Miller says. Here’s why guns increase the risk of suicide–especially in stressful times Here’s why guns increase the risk of suicide–especially in stressful times Handgun owners are almost four times more likely to die by suicide than people who don’t have guns, according to research by Matt Miller. 1,000 people in the US die every year in police shootings. Who are they? 1,000 people in the US die every year in police shootings. Who are they? Northeastern professor Matt Miller's new research shows that African-Americans and Hispanics are among those at greater risk. Northeastern University researcher Matthew Miller says that storing your gun more safely can save lives Northeastern University researcher Matthew Miller says that storing your gun more safely can save lives A modest increase in the number of people who store firearms in their homes safely could help to save the lives of hundreds of children. Does having a gun at home really make you safer? Does having a gun at home really make you safer? Keeping a gun in your home is supposed to keep you safe. Northeastern professor Matthew Miller’s research suggests that the opposite is true. Clearing up misconceptions about gun violence could make suicide attempts less deadly, study says Clearing up misconceptions about gun violence could make suicide attempts less deadly, study says There are roughly twice as many suicides as homicides in the United States every year, and more than half of them involve guns. Do more guns lead to more fatal police shootings? Do more guns lead to more fatal police shootings? A new study by researchers from Northeastern and Harvard examines the correlation between gun laws and shootings by police officers. Study finds 3M Americans carry a loaded handgun daily Study finds 3M Americans carry a loaded handgun daily The study was the first of its kind in more than 20 years to assess why and how often gun owners carry their loaded firearms. New study finds 1 in 5 US gun owners obtained firearm without background check New study finds 1 in 5 US gun owners obtained firearm without background check The national survey, which was led by Northeastern professor Matthew Miller and his colleagues at Harvard, also found that the share of gun owners who acquired firearms via private sale in the past two years without background checks was significantly larger in states without laws regulating such purchases. Study: 70M more firearms added to US gun stock over past 20 years Study: 70M more firearms added to US gun stock over past 20 years The estimated number of privately-owned guns in the U.S. grew to approximately 265 million between 1994 and 2015.
