Temporary out-of-home storage (TOHS) training

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Temporary out-of-home storage (TOHS) training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention will consist of a brief conversation with the firearm owner, which will include asking about their planned storage practices, providing education on secure storage options, assessing their knowledge about TOHS, and providing subsequent education about TOHS. The intervention is designed to be brief and conversational, taking no more than 5 minutes. The conversation will be guided by a brochure developed by our expert team, and firearm owners will be directed to additional resources for further information
