Editor's Choice: Optimizing sobriety checkpoints to maximize public health benefits and minimize operational costs
Sobriety checkpoints are a highly effective strategy to reduce alcohol-impaired driving, but they are used infrequently in the USA.
In this article, the authors conduct a pilot study to test whether police can feasibly implement optimized sobriety checkpoints and whether researchers can examine optimized sobriety checkpoints compared to usual practice within a non-randomized controlled trial study design.
Call for papers: Advances in First Nations Injury
First Nations peoples have occupied and cared for their ancestral lands since time immemorial. Ongoing colonisation continues to impact on First Nations communities globally, through significant health inequities, where injury is a leading cause of morbidity and premature mortality. Injuries are preventable, targeted co-designed research with First Nations communities is needed to understand and appreciate overall injury burden, but also for community owned and driven prevention and support programs.

Editor spotlight: April Zeoli
Dr. April Zeoli conducts interdisciplinary research, with a goal of bringing together the fields of public health and criminology and criminal justice. Her main fields of investigation are the prevention of firearm violence, intimate partner violence, and homicide through the use of policy and law. She is one of the nation’s leading experts on policy interventions for firearm use in intimate partner violence and on extreme risk protection orders (also known as red flag laws). Broadly, Dr. Zeoli studies the role of firearms in intimate partner violence and homicide, as well as the civil and criminal justice systems responses to intimate partner violence. Her research focuses on legal firearm restrictions for domestic violence abusers and their impact on intimate partner homicide, the implementation of those firearm restrictions, and the criminal histories of intimate partner homicide offenders with a focus on missed intervention opportunities. Dr. Zeoli serves as the research expert for the National Domestic Violence and Firearms Resource Center and has served as an expert commentator on intimate partner homicide, guns, domestic violence-related mass shootings, and extreme risk protection orders for news organizations such as NPR, the New York Times, Time Magazine, and Newsweek.
