Firearm injuries and deaths among children are a pressing public health issue. Less than 30% of homes with kids store guns safely, highlighting the need for improved awareness.
The S.A.F.E. Firearm program aims to equip pediatric clinicians to address firearm safety during routine visits, providing them a simple way to promote secure storage practices.
Studies indicate that conversations between clinicians and parents about firearm safety can significantly enhance safe storage practices at home, underscoring the role of trusted health professionals.
With the S.A.F.E. program's implementation taking under a minute, its simplicity could lead to broader adoption and ultimately reduce the risk of firearm-related injuries among children.
