Online Storage Maps to Facilitate Voluntary Firearm Storage: Mixed Methods Evaluation

7.项目总结 自杀是美国枪击死亡的主要原因，在许多西方国家，自杀的比例高达80% 各州。减少有风险的人获得枪支的机会，包括通过临时、自愿储存在远离 家，是预防自杀的关键策略。科罗拉多州和华盛顿州新的面向公众的在线州地图 展示射击场、零售商和执法机构(LEA)愿意考虑临时的、自愿的 枪械仓库。有关该计划的关键问题包括存储供应商(零售商、范围、LEA)的看法 以及存储用户(枪支拥有者和家庭成员)以及计划增长和 传播。这份R61提案建立在前期工作的基础上，并响应了RFA的号召，即 和具有文化能力的干预措施“。在两年的时间里，我们的多学科、成熟的研究团队 旨在使用混合方法(定性+定量)来检查(1)供应商(范围、 科罗拉多州和华盛顿州的零售商和LEA)和(2)使用者(枪支拥有者和家庭成员 科罗拉多州和华盛顿州)关于全州范围内的自愿枪支储存地图，包括参与、使用和 优先传播。我们还将(3)为其他州开发一个实施工具包，由 与其他11个州的利益相关者进行采访，这些州已经在考虑或创建地图。我们最重要的是 假设是自愿的、临时的户外枪支储存对供应商和 用户。我们将结合与利益相关者(Aim1a的供应商；Aim的用户)的定性访谈 目标3a中的其他国家)和调查(目标1b中的供应商；目标2b中的用户)；关键利益攸关方群体将 包括储存供应商和使用者以及枪支伤害和自杀预防组织和枪支 人权组织。我们的跨学科协作团队带来了深度和广度的相关 经验，并得到专家咨询小组的补充指导(包括枪支零售商和 教师)。拟议的研究将满足对可用的、“有文化能力的”工具的迫切需求，以促进 离家的、临时的、自愿的枪械仓库。新冠肺炎大流行及其相关的压力源 枪支销售的激增，以及对即将到来的自杀人数激增的担忧，增加了对可接受的， 预防枪械自杀的有效策略。我们提出的工作将为 迅速、广泛地传播枪支储存地图，并有可能在 防止枪支自杀的努力。

7. PROJECT SUMMARY Suicide accounts for the majority of firearm deaths in the United States, and up to 80% in many Western states. Reducing firearm access for those at risk, including through temporary, voluntary storage away from home, is a key suicide prevention strategy. New public-facing, online state maps in Colorado and Washington display firearm ranges, retailers, and law enforcement agencies (LEAs) willing to consider temporary, voluntary firearm storage. Key issues about this program include the views of storage suppliers (retailers, ranges, LEAs) and of storage users (firearm owners and family members) and the best methods for program growth and dissemination. This R61 proposal builds on preliminary work and is responsive to the RFA's call for “innovative and culturally competent interventions”. Over a two-year period, our multidisciplinary, established study team aims to use mixed methods (qualitative + quantitative) to examine the perspectives of (1) suppliers (ranges, retailers, and LEAs in Colorado and Washington) and (2) users (firearm owners and family members in Colorado and Washington) about statewide voluntary firearm storage maps, including participation, usage, and preferred dissemination. We will also (3) develop an implementation toolkit for other states, informed by interviews with stakeholders in the 11 other states already considering or creating maps. Our overarching hypothesis is that voluntary, temporary out-of-home firearm storage is a desirable option for both suppliers and users. We will use a combination of qualitative interviews with stakeholders (suppliers in Aim1a; users in Aim 2a; other states in Aim 3a) and surveys (suppliers in Aim 1b; users in Aim 2b); key stakeholder groups will include storage suppliers and users as well as firearm injury and suicide prevention organizations and firearm rights organizations. Our interdisciplinary, collaborative team brings a depth and breadth of relevant experience, with additional guidance from an Expert Advisory Panel (including firearm retailers and instructors). The proposed research will fill a critical need for usable, “culturally competent” tools to facilitate out-of-home, temporary, voluntary firearm storage. The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated stressors, surge in firearm sales, and concern for impending spike in suicide adds urgency to the need for acceptable, effective strategies for firearm suicide prevention. Our proposed work will provide the scientific foundation for rapid, broad dissemination of firearm storage maps and offers the potential to have a significant impact in firearm suicide prevention efforts.
