Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests a program called ACTFAST that trains doctors and nurses at three children's trauma centers to talk with families about safe firearm storage. The goal is to help prevent gun injuries in kids. Researchers will survey parents, teens, and clinicians to see if the training changes knowledge and behaviors.

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 counseling and training for clinicians
What this could lead to
If successful, this could establish a standard way for trauma centers to routinely counsel families on safe firearm storage, potentially reducing firearm injuries and deaths in children.
What could go wrong
This is an early implementation study with no control group, so it may not prove that the training directly reduces injuries. Results depend on staff participation and may not apply to all hospitals.
