After the 2012 Sandy Hook School Shooting a collaborative effort between the American College of Surgeons (ACS), the Hartford Consensus, and federal agencies like the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security worked together to create the Stop the Bleed campaign which is focused on teaching everyday Americans how to stop major bleeding and trauma and has helped to popularize the availability and access of IFAKs or Trauma Kits.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Stop The Bleed Campaign |url=https://www.stopthebleed.org/about-us/ |access-date=2024-10-03 |website=stopthebleed.org |language=en }}</ref> Trauma kits tend to have fewer items focused on basic items for scrapes and abrasions and instead focus on Tourniquets, Chest Seals, Hemostatic and non-treated gauze for wound packing, and pressure bandages among other things.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Trauma Kits vs First Aid Kits |url=https://www.mountainmanmedical.com/ifak-vs-trauma-kit-vs-first-aid-kit-whats-the-difference/ |access-date=2024-10-03 |website=mountainmanmedical.com |language=en }}</ref>
