Summary

This study tests a program called ACTFAST in three trauma centers. The program screens injured patients for firearm access, offers brief counseling on safe storage, and connects them to community resources. Researchers will track whether the program increases safe storage practices and changes attitudes about firearm safety. About 1,776 patients and their clinicians will take part.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
behavioral intervention: firearm safety screening, brief counseling, and referral to resources
What this could lead to
If successful, this could establish a practical way to reduce firearm injuries in trauma centers and improve safe storage habits.
What could go wrong
This is an early implementation study, not a test of a new drug or device. Results may vary by location and patient population, and it may not lead to a proven prevention method.
