Deborah Azrael is an American public health researcher.
She is a research associate in the Harvard School of Public Health's Department of Health Policy and Management, and the associate director of the Harvard Youth Violence Prevention Center.
[4] For example, a 2016 survey she conducted found that 3% of American adults owned half of the roughly 265 million guns in the United States.
[5][6] Another survey she led found that almost 40% of gun owners did not undergo a background check prior to obtaining their most recent gun.
[7] Her research has also shown that the vast majority of non-gun owners would feel less safe if there were more guns in their communities, and that female gun owners were much more likely to report the same thing.
