Randomized Controlled Trial
Acceptability of Long versus Short Firearm Safety Education Videos in the Emergency Department: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.
Safe firearm storage is protective against pediatric firearm injuries. We sought to compare a 3-minute versus 30-second safe firearm storage video in terms of acceptability of video content and use in the pediatric emergency department (PED). ⋯ We show that video-based firearm safety education is acceptable among study participants. This can provide consistent education to caregivers in PEDs and needs further study in other settings.
