About this trial
Investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial assessing effectiveness of the Family Safety Check-In website on firearm storage practices. Prior to conducting the RCT, investigators will engage in a robust, participatory process of language adaptation to ensure the intervention meets the expressed needs of the large and growing proportion of parents in the United States who identify as Hispanic and speak primarily Spanish.

Adaptation of National Firearm Survey and Firearm Safety Among Children and Teens (FACTS) survey questions: Firearm storage will be measured on a continuum that reflects incremental improvements in safety across the storage of all firearms in the home.
Time frame
Baseline, 1 month, 6 monthsSecondary outcomes

Satisfaction with storage practices
Satisfaction with Decision Scale: 6-item measure asking about satisfaction with received information, personal decision-making, decision-making related to value system, intent to carry out decision, sense of autonomy in decision-making, and general decision satisfaction. Responses are recorded on a 5-point scale, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction.
Time frame
Baseline, 1 month, 6 months2
Feeling informed
Informed Subscale of Decisional Conflict Scale: 3-item measure assessing perceptions of feeling informed about a decision, such as knowing which options are available and knowing the risks/benefits of each option. Responses are recorded on a 5-point scale and typically converted to a 0-100 scale, where higher scores indicate higher conflict and feeling less informed.
Time frame
Baseline, 1 month, 6 months3
Clarity on what matters most
Values Clarity Sub-Scale of Decisional Conflict Scale: 3-item measure assessing clarity of personal values in decision-making such as being clear about which benefits and risks matter most. Responses are recorded on a 5-point scale and typically converted to a 0-100 scale, with higher scores indicating higher conflict (less clarity) about personal values for benefits and risks.
Time frame
Baseline, 1 month, 6 months4
Involvement in decision process
Decision Making Involvement Scale- Express subscale: 3-item measure assessing behaviors such as expressing an opinion or giving an opinion. Responses are recorded on a 4-point scale (not at all, a little bit, quite a bit, a lot), with higher scores indicating that the individual is actively participating in the decision by sharing their views.
