Summary

This study tests a program where nurses talk to parents of hospitalized children about safely storing firearms and offer free cable locks. The goal is to see if this brief conversation changes how parents store guns at home, potentially preventing accidental shootings and suicides. About 7,200 parents and nurses will take part across multiple hospital units.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
S.A.F.E. Firearm behavioral intervention (discussion and free cable locks)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical, scalable way to reduce firearm injuries and suicides among children by encouraging safe storage.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention, not a medical treatment, and its impact depends on parents following through. The trial is not yet recruiting, and results may not generalize to all settings.
