No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Modifiable risk factors for youth firearm injury and death include unsafe storage of a firearm in the home, prior victimization/aggression, substance use, and depressive symptoms, yet there are few partnerships with firearm owners and firearm safety training programs to implement effective, non-policy-based preventive interventions for youth firearm injury. This study will conduct a hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial to evaluate the effectiveness of Guardians 4 Health, a bystander intervention designed to promote changes in firearm injury prevention norms, attitudes, intentions, and behaviors among a sample up to 60 4-H Shooting Sports Club communities comprising both adults and youth. This project is designed to build the evidence base for interventions that promote safe behaviors related to youth firearm use and injury prevention and advance firearm injury prevention science by supporting a synergistic partnership between well-established firearm injury, suicide, and violence prevention researchers and the national 4-H Shooting Sports community.
