		<description><![CDATA[The focus of the PoA remains on the supply side of arms and barely considers the demand side – the root causes of armed violence and its health impact as well as public health prevention approaches. There is greater awareness that firearm violence, as a subset of violence in general, is a serious health problem and that it is preventable.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=peaceandhealthblog.com&#038;blog=2530833&#038;post=1952&#038;subd=ippnweupdate&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
