Un stockage plus sûr Des maisons plus sûres Un essai pilote de conseil sur les moyens mortels chez les enfants hospitalisés
Stockage plus sûr Des maisons plus sûres : enquête sur l'utilisation de dispositifs de stockage sécurisé dans la population hospitalisée en santé comportementale
Firearm injuries are the leading cause of death for American youth. Strikingly, firearm suicide among adolescents is growing faster than other groups. Lethal means counseling is standard of care, however, infrequently occurs despite pediatricians recognizing the importance. Lack of time, topic discomfort, and inadequate resources for families are commonly reported barriers to counseling. By addressing these factors, we can improve counseling with the ultimate goal of increasing safe storage and reducing firearm injuries in youth.
Children admitted in acute mental health crises while awaiting psychiatric hospital placement are a population at greater risk of suicide. We plan to implement a pilot intervention to offer secure storage counseling and storage device distribution to families of behavioral health patients who indicate firearm ownership on initial screening. The goal of this project is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of firearm secure storage counseling and device provision in the inpatient setting.

Description détaillée
The Behavioral Health service at Monroe Carell Jr Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt (MCJCHV) provides specialized care for children and adolescents offering settings for patients to feel safe and supported while awaiting inpatient psychiatric care. Patients admitted to this team include children and adolescents with behavioral and psychological health challenges, including anxiety, depression, emotional distress, mood or personality disorders and many other mental health issues placing them at increased risk from harm from lethal means (sharps, medications, and firearms). Reducing immediate access to lethal means may mitigate the risk of fatal self-harm in youth. While likely beneficial in the inpatient setting, only one study exists examining the effects of an educational intervention for parents of hospitalized children.
To address this gap, we plan to implement a pilot intervention to offer secure storage counseling and device distribution to families of behavioral health patients who indicate firearm ownership on initial screening. The primary goal of this project is to determine the utilization and feasibility of providing these tools in the inpatient setting. We will additionally be assessing the feasibility of recruiting and retaining participants as well as the acceptability offering secure storage counseling in our study population to help inform future studies.
This will be a single arm observational pilot study. Participants will be asked to complete a pre- and post-survey via REDCap. Participants will first complete a self-guided pre-survey including demographic questions and current behaviors for medication and firearm storage. There will then be a 5-minute injury prevention educational session (lethal means counseling which is an underperformed standard of care for patients admitted with behavioral or mental health needs) informed by current evidence. The participants will also complete an online self-guided follow-up survey 1 month following the educational training. A REDCap link will be sent to the participant via email. Reminders will be sent at 1,2, and 7 days. Participants will be compensated for their participation.

Secure Storage Device Usage
Délai: one month
|
The proportion of eligible families who self-report using the chosen device at time of 3-month follow up survey. This will be assessed via the survey question "Are you using any of the device(s) to lock a firearm?" with a dichotomous "Yes/No" response option. |

|
Acceptability of intervention
Délai: one month
|
Acceptability will be measured using the Acceptability Intervention Measure, a 4-item instrument measuring the acceptability of an intervention on a 5-point Likert scale (Completely Disagree-Completely Agree). |
