Study Summary

The objective of this study is to compare two approaches to implement an evidence-based firearm safety promotion program, S.A.F.E. Firearm, in pediatric primary care as a universal suicide prevention strategy. The first implementation approach is a prompt in the electronic health record (EHR; Nudge) reminding clinicians to a) discuss firearm storage and b) offer a free cable firearm lock during the pediatric well visit. The second implementation approach (Nudge+) includes both the EHR Nudge described above plus one year of support to the clinics in deploying the program (i.e., practice facilitation). The study also aims to identify how these strategies work and whether the S.A.F.E. Firearm program results in reduced unauthorized access to firearms by young people. The investigators hypothesize that a greater proportion of well-visits will have S.A.F.E. Firearm delivery documented in the electronic health record in Nudge+ clinics vs. Nudge clinics.

Primary Outcome

Reach is the proportion of eligible well-child visits who received the S.A.F.E. Firearm program. "Participants" refers to well-child visits. For each well-child visit, data regarding S.A.F.E. Firearm delivery were available in the form of binary indicators, with 1 indicating S.A.F.E. Firearm was delivered during the visit and 0 indicating S.A.F.E. Firearm was not delivered during the visit. Reach outcomes presented below are means of the binary indicators, which were calculated across all eligib
