简介：鉴于COVID-19大流行期间枪支购买量的增加，本研究旨在确定COVID-19枪支购买者在自杀风险方面与非枪支拥有者和在COVID-19期间没有购买枪支的枪支拥有者的差异程度。方法：通过Qualtrics Panel招募参与者（N= 3，500）参加在线调查，检查自我保护的方法。使用ANCOVA评估自杀意念。使用多变量ANCOVA来检查COVID-19期间的枪支储存做法和储存变化。数据收集于2020年6月底和7月初，并于2020年7月进行分析。结果：在COVID-19期间购买枪支的个人比非枪支所有者和在COVID-19期间没有购买枪支的枪支所有者更频繁地报告一生，过去一年和过去一个月的自杀意念。与那些没有终身思维的人相比，具有终身思维的COVID-19购买者不太可能将装有子弹的枪支藏在壁橱里。有去年或上个月想法的COVID-19购买者比没有上个月想法的COVID-19购买者更有可能使用锁定设备。结论：与一般的枪支拥有者相比，COVID-19枪支购买者似乎更有可能经历过自杀想法，并且似乎不太可能使用某些不安全的枪支存储方法，但也报告了COVID-19期间更多的存储变化。第19章不安全的武器未来的研究应寻求进一步了解那些在COVID-19期间购买枪支的人，并确定如何增加枪支所有者的安全存储。(C)2020年美国预防医学杂志。爱思唯尔公司出版All rights reserved.
Introduction: Given the increase in firearm purchases during the COVID-19 pandemic, this study seeks to determine the extent to which COVID-19 firearm purchasers differ in terms of suicide risk from nonfirearm owners and firearm owners who did not make a purchase during COVID-19.Methods: Participants (N=3,500) were recruited through Qualtrics Panels to participate in an online survey examining methods for self-protection. ANCOVAs were utilized to assess suicidal ideation. Multivariate ANCOVAs were used to examine firearm storage practices and storage changes during COVID-19. Data were collected in late June and early July 2020, and analyses were conducted in July 2020.Results: Individuals who purchased a firearm during COVID-19 more frequently reported lifetime, past-year, and past-month suicidal ideation than nonfirearm owners and firearm owners who did not make a purchase during COVID-19. COVID-19 purchasers with lifetime ideation were less likely to hide loaded firearms in a closet than those without lifetime ideation. COVID-19 purchasers with past-year or past-month ideation were more likely to use locking devices than COVID-19 purchasers without past-month ideation.Conclusions: In contrast to firearm owners more generally, COVID-19 firearm purchasers appear far more likely to have experienced suicidal ideation and appear less likely to use certain unsafe firearm storage methods but also report a greater number of storage changes during COVID-19 that made firearms less secure. Future research should seek to further understand those who purchased a firearm during COVID-19 and determine ways to increase secure storage among firearm owners.
