Family Safety Net - Aim 3: Randomized Control Trial
NCT05657119 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Our parallel group clinical trial of the Family Safety Net (FSN) intervention addresses two main questions: * Is the Family Safety Net (FSN) intervention feasible and acceptable in two formats: motivational interviewing (FSN MI) counseling session and scripted psychoeducational session (FSN Scripted), with a primarily Alaska Native population in Northwest Alaska? * Secondarily, are there signals of efficacy at improving home safety (firearms unloaded, locked with ammunition separate) and dangerous medication locked? All participants will complete a baseline survey with firearm storage questions as well as 3 questions about mental health concerns in their family (e.g. 'Are you worried that someone in your home is at risk of suicide?'). * If participants answer "yes" to any of these questions, they will be randomly assigned to one of the two FSN intervention groups (1 and 2 below). * If they do not endorse any of the three family-focused mental health questions, they will be randomly assigned to one of two general firearm safety conditions (3 and 4 below). 1. FSN MI group will participate in a 15-20-minute motivational interviewing (MI) session conducted by trained research staff focused on suicide lethal means reduction. 2. FSN Scripted group will participate in a 10-minute scripted session focused on suicide lethal means reduction. Both FSN groups (1 and 2): * Can take home trigger locks, cable locks, ammo boxes, medication boxes and mental health resources * Receive 4 weeks of tailored text message reminders and encouragement. * Complete 1-month follow-up survey consisting of items related to firearm storage, and facilitating factors hypothesized to contribute to this behavior. * Participants in both FSN conditions will be invited to participate in a semi-structured interview at follow-up focused on satisfaction and perceptions of the program. 3 General gun safety intervention group will participate in a 10-minute scripted conversation about safe gun s

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05657119
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05657119 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 86 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Michigan, which has 1,126 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Suicide appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 4 interventions — of which MI FSN - Lethal Means Reduction is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05657119 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Alaska. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
