Official title
Randomized Trial of a Shared Decision-making Intervention for Families About Firearm Storage
Overview
Investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial assessing effectiveness of the Family Safety Check-In website on firearm storage practices. Prior to conducting the RCT, investigators will engage in a robust, participatory process of language adaptation to ensure the intervention meets the expressed needs of the large and growing proportion of parents in the United States who identify as Hispanic and speak primarily Spanish.
Detailed description
The clinical trial portion of this study will enroll 274 families. While two adults are required to enroll in the study for a family to participate, all adults living in the home will be invited to participate in the study. Baseline surveys will be completed by the first parent/guardian after study enrollment. Participants will then be randomized at the family-level, and, after randomization, will receive a link to their respective intervention (active control or Family Safety Check In). Survey data will also be collected 1 month and 6 months after intervention completion using self-report online questionnaires hosted on the secure REDCap platform.
