COMMUNITY ASPIRE: Secure Firearm Storage Program in Illinois Health Centers
This study, called COMMUNITY ASPIRE, is testing a program called S.A.F.E. Firearm in up to 15 community health centers across Illinois. The S.A.F.E. Firearm program aims to increase secure storage of firearms in homes with children. It involves pediatric healthcare providers having a brief conversation with parents or guardians during a child's well-visit and offering a free cable firearm lock. Researchers are also studying ways to help clinics successfully use this program, including training for staff and support to solve problems. The main goals are to see how many people the program reaches and how many locks are given out over 2.5 years. You can participate if you are a parent or caregiver bringing a child (ages 0-17) for a well-visit at a participating clinic, or if you are a healthcare worker at one of these clinics.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study involving 1086 participants. It is a randomized controlled trial, meaning participants will be assigned by chance to different groups.
- What's involved
- Parent participants would attend their child's well-visit at a participating clinic. Healthcare personnel would be employed at a participating clinic and receive training and facilitation for twelve months.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The study will measure its main goals over 2.5 years, which is the duration of the study.

What this trial measures
- Reach2.5 years (duration of the study - control through sustainment)
The proportion of eligible parents who report receiving both S.A.F.E. Firearm intervention components (counseling and lock). The two questions comprising reach ask the parent to report whether the following occurred during their child's recent visit: a member of the health center staff (1) spoke to them about firearm storage and (2) offered them a free firearm lock(s), even if they didn't take one. Response options to each of these questions include: yes, no, don't remember, and prefer not to answer.
- Locks distributed2.5 years (duration of the study - control through sustainment)
The distribution of locks taken during the control phase, active implementation phase, and sustainment phase. Locks for distribution during the active implementation and sustainment phases will be ordered through the study team only. The study team will reach out to each clinic approximately 1 week prior to start of active implementation to ask how many locks were distributed during the control period. The study team will then track how many locks are ordered from each clinic and obtain an estimate from clinics 1 week prior to the end of active implementation of how many locks were distributed during the active implementation phase, and do the same for sustainment.
