Trial of a Nurse-Led Firearm Safety Intervention in the Pediatric Inpatient Setting

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.

Project Safe Guard-Trauma

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to determine if a counseling intervention, Project Safe Guard-Trauma (PSG-T), increases secure firearm storage practices in adults who screen positive for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does PSG-T lead to more secure firearm storage practices? * Does PSG-T increase knowledge about the link between firearm storage practices and suicide risk? * Does PSG-T increase intentions to store firearms securely? Researchers will compare PSG-T to a control, Project Safe Guard (PSG), which is a counseling intervention that does not focus on the potential influence of PTSD symptoms on firearm storage practices. This will help to determine if PSG-T works better than PSG to increase secure firearm storage in adults with elevated PTSD symptoms. Participants will: * Complete a baseline survey * Receive the counseling intervention * Complete a survey immediately after the intervention and at 1-, 3-, and 6-months following the intervention
