    About This Project

    Sixty-three percent of US gun deaths are suicides. We know that safe storage of guns can decrease the risk of gun suicides; what we don’t know is how to get people to store their guns safely. Which specific messages/messengers are most effective in increasing gun storage rates?

    The goal of this research is to develop and disseminate an effective program to increase safe storage of guns.
