{"id":6,"count":3,"description":"Political polarization in the United States has escalated in recent years, creating challenges for progress on a number of policy fronts -- public health and healthcare policies are particularly contested. Among the many pressing health issues facing the United States, gun violence remains a particularly thorny issue -- it is a leading cause of premature death and injury, but is particularly difficult to address. This cohort will meet over dinner to examine questions such as the following:\r\n\u2022 What insights can we gain from examining gun violence as a case study in polarization? What are ways to generate bipartisan dialogue and action, and overcome political paralysis?\r\n\u2022 How can each of us as citizens exercise our influence and make our voice heard as constituents? What skills should we develop, and how can we acquire and practice these?\r\n\u2022 What are ways to enhance communication and dialogue among researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders in the community on complex topics such as gun violence?\r\n\u2022 What does research suggest about key drivers and determinants of gun violence in the United States?\r\n[ic_add_posts category='advocacy' ignore_sticky_posts='no']","link":"https:\/\/commons.princeton.edu\/focus\/category\/advocacy\/","name":"Advocacy & Policy","slug":"advocacy","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.princeton.edu\/focus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/6","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.princeton.edu\/focus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.princeton.edu\/focus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.princeton.edu\/focus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=6"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
