Store Safely: Rural Firearm Injury Prevention for Families
This study is testing an online program called "Store Safely" to help families with children in Michigan's Upper Peninsula store firearms more safely. Researchers believe this program will improve how firearms are stored in homes. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, speak English, have a child under 18 living at home, own at least one firearm, live in Michigan's U.P., and have internet access. The study will look at how many firearms are stored locked and how engaged parents are in safe storage practices after about 3 months. The current recruitment status is unclear.
