Upstream, evidence-based lethal means safety interventions are urgently needed within the VA to address this serious issue. The Family Firearms Secure Storage Training (FFAST) intervention consists of single session in which Veterans and their concerned significant others (CSOs) are guided through a discussion on secure firearm storage practices and develop a safety plan to prepare them for a mental health crisis. This study aims to evaluate the relative effectiveness of FFAST against a control condition in promoting secure firearm storage planning, preparedness for a mental health crisis, and secure storage practices within Veterans and their CSOs. In addition, barriers and facilitating factors of implementing FFAST within the VA Caregiver Support Program and Suicide Prevention 2.0 will be examined to aid in the widespread adoption of FFAST across the VA.",[89,90,91],"Lethal Means Safety","Brief Intervention","Concern Significant Others",[89,93,94,95,96,97,98],"Veterans","Suicide Prevention","Concerned Significant Others","Secure Storage","Firearms","Intervention","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-07-14",{"date":102,"type":103},"2026-07-16","ACTUAL",{"date":105,"type":83},"2026-10-01",{"date":107,"type":83},"2030-09-30",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
