Can a new training module make future doctors better at discussing gun safety?
NCT ID NCT05242627
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a new educational module helps medical students learn to screen patients for firearm exposure and counsel them on safety. About 360 students from UCLA's medical school will be observed during a simulated patient exam to see if those who received the training are more likely to discuss firearm safety. The goal is to improve doctors' confidence and skills in preventing firearm-related injuries.
