Congrats to Kari Harland, Morgan Swanson, and Mike Takacs!

Congrats to Kari Harland, Morgan Swanson, and Mike Takacs for the recent news report detailing some work they did on fireworks injuries over the last several years!  Nice work!  In 2017, Iowa passed a law [SB489] allowing the sale of fireworks in the state during specific time periods.  Since then, University of Iowa researchers have examined trends in emergency department visits to Iowa’s two largest trauma centers before and after implementation of the law (2014 – 2019).
