Summary

This study tests whether a series of short videos, called 'Worried About a Veteran,' can encourage family members and friends to talk to veterans about storing firearms safely. The videos teach warning signs of a suicidal crisis and how to have a supportive conversation about securing guns. Researchers will compare this approach to watching unrelated VA news videos, measuring whether participants actually discuss safe storage with the veteran in their life.

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: a series of short video vignettes ('Worried About a Veteran') designed to teach family and friends how to discuss safe firearm storage with veterans.
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could empower families to have life-saving conversations, potentially reducing veteran suicide risk.
What could go wrong
The trial relies on self-reported discussions and may not reflect real-world behavior change. The videos' impact could be limited without broader support.
