Department of Health Publications
In 2024, the Tennessee General Assembly passed SB1657/HB1846, TCA 68-1-149, legislation that requires the Tennessee Department of Health to submit an annual report to the Governor, detailing the total number of firearm injuries and deaths, as well as certain demographics, caused by firearms in this state per 100,000 people that occurred in the previous calendar year. The first annual report was published in August of 2024.​
​
The Tennessee Department of Health publishes a report on suicide in Tennessee annually. The report includes suicide data as well as information about prevention programs and resources.​
