Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this study is to increase safe medication storage practices in homes with young children in order to prevent unintentional childhood poisonings.

As a step toward meeting this goal, this study aims to determine if an intervention to promote safe storage to patients who have young children in their home, including provision of a lock box or lock bag along with brief counseling versus brief counseling alone, results in 1) increased locked storage (and overall safe medication storage practices) of high-risk prescription medications in the home; 2) increased safe medication storage practices of other medications in the home; and 3) improved safe medication storage related knowledge and attitudes.
