Active shooter and lockdown drills are part of a broader spectrum of emergency preparedness but there are differing levels of effectiveness and risks. Katelyn Jetelina, aka “Your Local Epidemiologist,” talks with Stephanie Desmon about the benefits and real harms of these activities and why she does have hope that we will make progress with gun violence solutions, though at a “snail’s pace.” They also discuss the wide-ranging ripple effects of violence beyond the victims such as community-level mental health impacts.
