Limited access to trauma care contributes to health disparities, particularly regarding violent injuries. Effective interventions, including hospital-based violence programs, can promote awareness and education within communities, supporting trauma-informed care. By prioritizing prevention and comprehensive access to care, healthcare professionals and policymakers can mitigate violence and enhance community health and safety. Addressing these gaps is essential to reducing trauma incidence and improving overall well-being for affected populations.
