Safer Still (Exploratory Project 3)
Sponsor: Jeff Bridge
Summary
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.

" Safer Still " Interactive Intervention
An interactive intervention will be developed to help promote safe storage of firearms during the critical period immediately following high-risk care transitions.
Enhanced Usual Care (EUC):
Families randomly assigned to the control condition will receive a psychological placebo that will feature an education only website developed by NCH's web design team. This website will cover warning signs for suicide, the leading methods of suicide - so that both conditions have content that features information about firearms - and locating professional help. The control website will NOT feature these three behavioral economic strategies--namely (a) multiple suggested alternatives for means restriction, (b) requests to justify inaction regarding means restriction, and (c) normative feedback about means restriction.
