ABSTRACT Pharmacovigilance refers to the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. During the pharmacovigilance activities undertaken by us, a case of toxic epidermal necrolysis provided us with a setting for discussing various aspects of pharmacovigilance—the process itself, important signal generators that it may yield for practice, research and policy-related matters.

In the final chapter, the authors provide a full overview of the 30 main findings, or take-home messages, from this book. For each finding, the authors present an explanation as well as the implications related to practice, research, and policy. The findings are associated with the main points extracted from each chapter, particularly those that are empirically based and well grounded in the professional research and in professional practice standards. The authors end the chapter and, therefore, this book, with a call for a stepwise, multifaceted approach to addressing firearm-related problems, rooted in non-partisan and multidisciplinary ideals and facilitated by a collaboration between practitioners, academicians, researchers, policymakers, and members of firearm-related subgroups.

This study compared rural youth exposed to gun violence and rural youth not exposed to gun violence on a number of variables: anger, anxiety, dissociation, depression, posttraumatic stress, total trauma, violent behavior, parental monitoring, and levels of violence in the home, school, and community. One-fourth (25%) of the rural youth in this study reported having been exposed to gun violence at least once. Youth exposed to gun violence reported significantly more anger, dissociation, posttraumatic stress, and total trauma. In addition, youth exposed to the violence of guns reported significantly higher levels of violent behaviors and exposure to violence in other settings and also reported lower levels of parental monitoring. The present study contributes to the growing body of literature addressing the stereotype that rural communities are not immune to the violence of firearms. This stereotype acts as a barrier to mental health practice, research, and policy issues in rural communities.
