Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Houston-Hospital Violence Intervention Programs (HVIP) in reducing the occurrence of repeat violent events among adults receiving care at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, to determine the impact of the community-engaged Houston-HVIP program on violent re-injury and mental and behavioral health, assess the impact of the Houston-HVIP program on racial and ethnic disparities in those impacted by firearm violence injury and to identify the predictors of implementation success, including dosage, reach, fidelity, and acceptability from the perspective of gun violence victims, health care providers, and community violence intervention specialists

NCT ID: NCT06216327 Recruiting - Suicide Clinical Trials

Safety Planning 6+

SP6+
Start date: January 8, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Access to lethal methods of self-harm such as firearms and medications increases risk for suicide. As such, VA/DoD guidelines for the care of individuals with elevated suicide risk include recommendations that clinicians deliver interventions to reduce access to lethal methods of suicide among patients who are identified as having elevated suicide risk. However, no interventions have been developed or tested among Veterans seeking emergency care - a population previously identified as having elevated risk. The aim of this study is to pilot test a lethal means safety intervention developed specifically for Veterans who seek care in VHA emergency departments and urgent care settings and are identified as having elevated suicide risk.

NCT ID: NCT06123611 Enrolling by invitation - Safety Issues Clinical Trials

Pediatric Trauma Centers RE-AIM at Gun Safety

ACTFAST
Start date: February 25, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Universal firearm injury and violence prevention counseling of parents and patients has been recommended by multiple national organizations for over a decade, yet clinicians rarely deliver this counseling. Barriers to its implementation must be addressed in order to effectively deliver firearm related injury prevention efforts. This study will implement a universal firearm injury prevention initiative within a national cohort of three pediatric trauma centers. The investigator's long-term goal is to demonstrate best practices for pediatric trauma center-based firearm injury prevention strategies that promote safe storage practices and reduce firearm related injury and death. This research will test the effectiveness of a comprehensive training strategy for improving the implementation of a universal firearm injury prevention effort, ACTFAST (Adopting Comprehensive Training for FireArm Safety in Trauma centers), to 1) increase the adoption, implementation and sustainability of a universal firearm injury prevention initiative within participating pediatric level 1 trauma centers; 2) increase firearm safety knowledge, attitudes and safe firearm storage practices among parents of pediatric trauma patients and youth patients treated within participating pediatric level 1 trauma centers, and 3) increase trauma center clinicians' firearm safety knowledge and confidence in delivering a firearm safety intervention.

NCT ID: NCT06108141 Recruiting - Virtual Reality Clinical Trials

Virtual Reality Intervention to Support Clinicians' Firearm Safety Counseling Behaviors

REACH_CCTST
Start date: December 19, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of REACH Firearm Safety in a sample of pediatric residents. The main question it aims to answer are: Do residents who have completed REACH Firearm Safety have increased documentation in the electronic medical records for screening and counseling for safe firearm storage? Participants will be asked to engage in a virtual reality curriculum (REACH Firearm Safety). Researchers will compare the REACH Firearm safety group to a group of participants who complete an abbreviated online training.

NCT ID: NCT05887973 Recruiting - Aggression Clinical Trials

Addressing Root Causes for Gun Violence Prevention (ARC-GVP)

Start date: June 27, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this study is to help build the evidence base for a locally-relevant youth firearm violence prevention program in Washington D.C., a city experiencing disparities in youth firearm violence outcomes. The main question it aims to answer is: How is youth participation in the summer youth employment program, the True Reasons I Grabbed the Gun Evolved from Risk (The T.R.I.G.G.E.R Project), which is designed to address root causes of gun violence, associated with individual youth behavioral outcomes, including pro-social involvement, aggression, and firearm-related attitudes and behaviors?

TRUsted rEsidents and Housing Assistance to Decrease Violence Exposure in New Haven

TRUE HAVEN
Start date: February 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The overall objective of this study is to implement and test a strengths-based, community-driven intervention to reduce gun violence by (1) improving housing stability through providing financial assistance coupled with comprehensive financial education for the re-entry population as well as their family members, and (2) fostering greater support for mental health by training a trusted network of community members in trauma-informed counseling.

NCT ID: NCT05657119 Active, not recruiting - Suicide Clinical Trials

Family Safety Net - Aim 3: Randomized Control Trial

FSN
Start date: November 2, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Our parallel group clinical trial of the Family Safety Net (FSN) intervention addresses two main questions: - Is the Family Safety Net (FSN) intervention feasible and acceptable in two formats: motivational interviewing (FSN MI) counseling session and scripted psychoeducational session (FSN Scripted), with a primarily Alaska Native population in Northwest Alaska? - Secondarily, are there signals of efficacy at improving home safety (firearms unloaded, locked with ammunition separate) and dangerous medication locked? All participants will complete a baseline survey with firearm storage questions as well as 3 questions about mental health concerns in their family (e.g. 'Are you worried that someone in your home is at risk of suicide?'). - If participants answer "yes" to any of these questions, they will be randomly assigned to one of the two FSN intervention groups (1 and 2 below). - If they do not endorse any of the three family-focused mental health questions, they will be randomly assigned to one of two general firearm safety conditions (3 and 4 below). 1. FSN MI group will participate in a 15-20-minute motivational interviewing (MI) session conducted by trained research staff focused on suicide lethal means reduction. 2. FSN Scripted group will participate in a 10-minute scripted session focused on suicide lethal means reduction. Both FSN groups (1 and 2): - Can take home trigger locks, cable locks, ammo boxes, medication boxes and mental health resources - Receive 4 weeks of tailored text message reminders and encouragement. - Complete 1-month follow-up survey consisting of items related to firearm storage, and facilitating factors hypothesized to contribute to this behavior. - Participants in both FSN conditions will be invited to participate in a semi-structured interview at follow-up focused on satisfaction and perceptions of the program. 3 General gun safety intervention group will participate in a 10-minute scripted conversation about safe gun storage practice, and: - Can take home trigger locks, cable locks, and ammo boxes. - Receive 4 weeks of tailored text message reminders and encouragement. - Complete 1-month follow-up survey consisting of items related to firearm storage, and facilitating factors hypothesized to contribute to this behavior. 4. General gun safety comparison group: - Can take home trigger locks, cable locks, and ammo boxes. - Complete 1-month follow-up survey.

NCT ID: NCT05568901 Completed - Mental Health Issue Clinical Trials

Randomized Trial to Improve Safe Firearm Storage

FARTHER
Start date: June 28, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of providing gun locks to caregivers of children presenting to the emergency department for mental health concerns. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does the provision of gun locks result in higher rates of securement of all household firearms? Participants will be randomized to receive either lethal means counseling (including summary handout) by study team with the provision of 2 cable-style gun locks or lethal means counseling by study team alone (without provision of gun locks). Researchers will compare the lethal means counseling with 2 gun locks group to the lethal means counseling alone group to see if it affects self-reported securement of all household firearms, 4 weeks post emergency department encounter.
