Lethal means counseling training and skills practice
P2S is a 3-hour interdisciplinary training to teach clinicians to have firearm safety conversations with clients. After the training, students will be randomized to practice counseling skills using either AI-based clients or trained standardized clients (i.e., live actor) to compare the two practice modalities, compared with no practice.
