Summary

This study tests an online program called Store Safely that teaches rural families with children how to store firearms more safely. The program includes videos, facts, and a personalized action plan. Researchers will check if families lock up more guns after using the program. 600 adults in Michigan's Upper Peninsula who own at least one firearm and have a child under 18 at home are being recruited.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Store Safely online program (videos, infographics, decision aid, action plan)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a simple, scalable way for rural families to reduce the risk of firearm injuries at home.

What could go wrong

This is a behavioral intervention relying on self-report, so actual storage changes may be less than reported. The study is limited to one rural region, so results may not apply elsewhere.
