FSN Trial Summary
This trial tests an intervention to change gun safety practices in an Alaska Native population, using surveys, MI sessions, text messages & access to gun safety devices.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who have lived in Northwest Alaska for at least 5 years, can read and understand English, live with a gun in the house, have a text-capable phone, and where young people are present. It excludes households that already participated.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests two versions of the Family Safety Net (FSN) intervention on firearm safety: one using motivational interviewing and another using scripted education. Both aim to improve home safety by keeping firearms unloaded, locked away, and separate from ammunition.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments or drugs, there are no direct physical side effects. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort discussing sensitive topics like suicide prevention.
