Study Summary
Suicide prevention is a top priority for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), with a major emphasis on developing innovative and effective ways to prevent firearm suicide. Research suggests that secure firearm storage can decrease risk for suicide and the current project aims to evaluate a novel approach to increasing secure storage through an experimental design. The intervention takes one-hour or less and involves a peer-to-peer discussion about secure firearm storage, focusing on participants' reasons for and against using more secure firearm storage practices. The project will evaluate whether Veterans who receive this intervention report greater use of secure firearm storage practices than Veterans who receive only psychoeducational materials on this topic. Secure firearm storage practices will be evaluated over the course of one year. It is hypothesized that Veterans who engage in the peer-to-peer intervention will report greater use of secure firearm storage practices than those who receive only psychoeducational materials. Relevant to Veterans' health, secure firearm storage decreases Veteran firearm suicide risk and may help prevent suicide. In addition, this peer-delivered intervention is preferred by Veterans, and has the flexibility to be implemented before suicide risk develops and in settings outside of the VA. This means the intervention has the potential to reach more Veterans, even those who do not receive VA healthcare.
Primary Outcome
The MIRECC Lethal Means Questionnaire (Simonetti, 2017) is a 13-item self-report measure designed to assess experiences with firearms. Items include questions about number and type of firearms owned, primary reason for firearm ownership, and firearm handling. It also includes items related to firearm storage practices. Two open-ended questions were also added to allow participants to describe, in their own words, their current firearm storage practices, and at follow-ups to describe any changes
Interventions
- OTHER Active Control
- BEHAVIORAL Peer Engagement and Exploration of Responsibility and Safety
