Safer Still (Exploratory Project 3)

Description

The long-term goal is to decrease suicide and suicidal behaviors in at-risk youth through preventative interventions. Investigators propose to develop an interactive intervention ("Safer Still") to help promote safe storage of firearms during the critical period immediately following high-risk care transitions. The objective of this study is to develop and test the Safer Still intervention as an efficient adjunct to traditional care for adolescents aged 12-17 years who are discharged from psychiatric hospitals and living in households where firearms are stored unsafely.
