Declarations
:
: This study was reviewed and approved by the Northwell Health Institutional Review Board (IRB 20–0779-FIMR). Informed consent will be obtained from the study participants, and assent will be obtained from participants under 18, in conjunction with parent/guardian consent. There is no legal barrier to asking about firearm safety in healthcare in New York; there will be an “Unable to Screen” option built in for any patient who does not wish to answer the questions, and screening will not be a mandatory field in the EHR. Part of education for healthcare providers will include legal resources, such as the SAFE Act [], to be used in case of identified mental health concerns and imminent risk of harm, and Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPO) [], which cannot be initiated by healthcare providers but can be provided to concerned family and caregivers as a resource.
