About this trial
In this randomized controlled trial, researchers will assess the effectiveness and implementation of S.A.F.E. Firearm in the inpatient pediatric hospital setting. S.A.F.E. Firearm has been adapted for nurse-led delivery to parents/caregivers (hereafter, parents) of hospitalized youth. Adapted S.A.F.E. Firearm involves a brief discussion between nurses and parents about secure firearm storage and an offer of a free firearm cable lock. Researchers will test S.A.F.E. Firearm and a bundle of strategies intended to support the routinization of S.A.F.E. Firearm into nursing workflows.
The questions the study aims to answer are:
* How effective is adapted S.A.F.E. Firearm at changing parents' firearm storage behavior? * How effective is the implementation strategy bundle at increasing delivery of adapted S.A.F.E. Firearm?
Some parents will be invited to participate in surveys about their experiences with adapted S.A.F.E. Firearm, and some nurses will be invited to participate in interviews about their experiences with the implementation strategy bundle.
