Study Summary
Firearm injuries are the leading cause of death for American youth. While most of these deaths are homicides, approximately one third are suicides and 5% are unintentional shootings where a child gains access to an unsecured firearm and unintentionally pulls the trigger injuring or killing themselves or someone else. Secure firearm storage in the home has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of both unintentional shootings and intentional self-harm behavior. Additionally, approximately 75% of the guns that show up on school grounds come from the homes of youth or their family members or friends. Despite evidence that secure storage counseling delivered in the pediatric outpatient setting significantly improves secure storage behavior AND recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics to provide secure storage counseling during well child checks, rates of counseling continue to be low. The Be SMART program is aligned with the American Academy of Pediatrics policy statement and recommendations and provides a scalable solution to efficient counseling in the clinical setting. However, except for one single site inpatient study, the efficacy of the Be SMART program has not been formally evaluated in the inpatient pediatric setting. By rigorously evaluating the efficacy of specific secure storage interventions like Be SMART the investigators can eventually improve counseling frequency with the goal of increasing gun safety behaviors and reducing firearm injuries and deaths in youth. The investigators hypothesize the Be SMART educational intervention, when delivered in the pediatric inpatient setting, will lead to significant improvement in the primary gun safety behavior endpoint and the secondary endpoint among both gun owners and non-gun owners when compared to control group.
