SecureHomes Randomized Clinical Trial (SecureHomes)
A Randomized Clinical Trial of the VA Secure Homes Lethal Means Intervention for Veterans With Elevated Suicide Risk
Firearm suicide prevention is a leading VA priority. To date, no intervention has been shown to encourage Veterans with elevated suicide risk to adopt secure firearm storage practices to reduce their suicide risk. The proposed effort will test whether the SecureHomes intervention can encourage Veterans with elevated suicide risk to adopt secure firearm storage practices, such as voluntarily removing firearms from their households or securing them with locking devices.

Descrição detalhada
The VA Clinical Practice Guidelines encourage clinicians to facilitate secure firearm storage for at-risk Veterans. No such intervention has ever been tested in a clinical trial among Veterans. SecureHomes is an intervention which was found to be feasible and highly acceptable to Veterans. The aim of this trial is to determine the efficacy of the SecureHomes intervention compared to an attention control condition among 400 Veteran firearm owners with elevated suicide risk.
Hypothesis 1a: Veterans who receive SecureHomes will be significantly more likely to report meaningful reductions in firearm access (MRIA) at 30 days compared to Veterans who receive the attention control.
Hypothesis 1b: Among participants who do not store their firearms locked at baseline, Veterans who receive SecureHomes will be significantly more likely to report locking all household firearms at 30 days.

Experimental: SecureHomes
Participants receive the SecureHomes lethal means intervention: one virtual session of about 20-30 minutes plus an optional follow-up of about 5-10 minutes. Sessions are delivered by clinicians with suicide prevention experience who are trained in firearm cultural competency and firearm-specific motivational interviewing. Participants can receive educational print materials and no-cost firearm locking devices based on their preferences. |
A virtually delivered lethal means safety intervention that aims to increase awareness of the link between firearm access and suicide risk and to encourage secure firearm storage. It uses a firearm-specific motivational interviewing approach developed by the study team. It encourages meaningful reduction in firearm access (MRIA) for all participants, and locking all firearms for those not ready to adopt MRIA. Based on participant preference, the study team ships educational print materials and no-cost locking devices (lockboxes and cable locks) to participants' homes. |
|
Comparador Ativo: Attention Control
Participants receive Health and Stress Counseling, matched in time to the SecureHomes arm: one virtual session of about 20-30 minutes plus an optional follow-up of about 5-10 minutes. Sessions focus on promoting healthy, stress-reducing behaviors and contain no active components specific to firearm storage. |
An attention control condition matched to SecureHomes in session length and follow-up. Sessions promote healthy and stress-reducing behaviors and contain no firearm-storage knowledge, motivation, or resources. |

Number of Participants With Meaningful Reduction in Firearm Access (MRIA) at 30 Days
Prazo: 30 days
|
MRIA is assessed with the Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Center (MIRECC) Lethal Means Measure. MRIA includes: removal of all household firearms, removal of all household ammunition, all firearms locked with the participant lacking the key or code, all ammunition locked with the participant lacking the key or code, or the firearm disassembled with a critical part kept away from the participant. |

Number of Participants Who Lock All Household Firearms at 30 Days Among Those Not Locking All Firearms at Baseline
Prazo: 30 days
|
Assessed with the Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Center (MIRECC) Lethal Means Measure. Participants who stored any household firearm unlocked at baseline are assessed at 30 days. A participant counts if all household firearms are stored locked, using an external locking device or a locked container. |
