Summary

This study tests whether a brief counseling program called BeSMART, given to parents while their child is in the hospital, can improve how they store firearms at home. About 400 caregivers of hospitalized children will be randomly assigned to receive the counseling or usual care. The goal is to see if the program increases secure storage (guns locked and unloaded) and prompts parents to ask about gun safety in other homes their child visits.
