Sponsor's own description

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of providing gun locks to caregivers of children presenting to the emergency department for mental health concerns. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does the provision of gun locks result in higher rates of securement of all household firearms? Participants will be randomized to receive either lethal means counseling (including summary handout) by study team with the provision of 2 cable-style gun locks or lethal means counseling by study team alone (without provision of gun locks). Researchers will compare the lethal means counseling with 2 gun locks group to the lethal means counseling alone group to see if it affects self-reported securement of all household firearms, 4 weeks post emergency department encounter.
