To ensure optimal safety for children in homes with guns, experts at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia initiated a program in CHOP’s Emergency Department (ED) and Primary Care Centers that allows healthcare providers to have nonjudgmental conversations with families about guns in the home and, if appropriate, offer educational resources and gun safety devices at no cost. This approach is research-driven; prior studies in both pediatric practices and community settings have shown that providing firearm safety counseling combined with a safe storage device improves safe storage practices within the home, as opposed to providing safety counseling alone.
