Using a collaborative and iterative approach, stakeholders developed an intervention leveraging financial and social incentives to encourage secure firearm storage. Study findings have implications for LMC more broadly, including development of acceptable methods of verifying secure firearm storage and identifying ongoing monitoring of firearm storage as key to improving outcomes.

Abstract

Using a collaborative and iterative approach, stakeholders developed an intervention leveraging financial and social incentives to encourage secure firearm storage. Study findings have implications for LMC more broadly, including development of acceptable methods of verifying secure firearm storage and identifying ongoing monitoring of firearm storage as key to improving outcomes.
