Aktiver Komparator: Health and Stress Counseling (HSC)
Participants will participate in an intervention similar in length and delivery of the experimental condition, however the intervention does not focus on lethal means safety, secure storage of firearms, or suicide prevention.
|
HSC is a brief intervention where Veterans and their CSOs meet with an interventionist to learn how to support a Veteran's well-being.
Areas include diet, exercise, sleep, stress, and other factors that may impact overall health.
|
|
Kein Eingriff: Waitlist
In the waitlist control condition, participants will be assigned to complete either FFAST or HSC 6-months after the start of the study.
Their data for those 6 months will be compared to the intervention (FFAST) and the active control (HSC).
This will allow researchers to compare the results of those who are assigned to either FFAST, HSC, or nothing, while still providing participants an active condition at a later time.

Experimental: The Family Firearms Secure storage Training (FFAST) Intervention
FAST is a brief, single-session intervention where Veterans collaborate with a family member or friend (referred to as a concerned significant other; CSO) to create a secure storage plan for firearms in the event they ever experience a mental health crisis.
|
The intervention consists of a brief, single-session intervention where a Veteran and their CSO work together to create a secure storage plan for firearms in the home in the event the Veteran experiences a mental health crisis, and how the CSO can support the Veteran during a crisis.
This intervention can be used by any Veteran who owns firearms, and neither the Veteran nor CSO need to be experiencing mental health symptoms to participate.
The intervention serves as an upstream method of suicide prevention that can be delivered in-person, through a telehealth appointment, or over the phone.

Participant Knowledge, Behaviors, and Preparedness Related to Firearm Secure Storage
Zeitfenster: Baseline and 1, 3, 6 months

Participants will self-report their knowledge, behaviors, and preparedness for enacting a firearm secure storage plan.
Three survey items created for this trial will include knowledge of mental health warning signs, willingness to participate in planning, and preparedness for a mental health crisis.
Unit of Measurement: Total scores of these items will range from 5 - 15, and are rated on a scale of 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater levels of agreement on understanding (Definitely Disagree - Definitely Agree) or willingness (Not Willing - Totally Willing).
