Summary

This study tested a program called Guardians 4 Health, which teaches youth and adults in shooting sports clubs how to step in and prevent firearm injuries. Researchers worked with 4-H Shooting Sports Clubs across the U.S. to see if the program changed people's intentions to act safely. The study included 801 participants and focused on improving safety norms and behaviors.
