About

This video focuses on assessing risk factors like children, alcohol use, dementia, and domestic violence in homes with guns. Clinicians should talk to patients about gun safety if these risks are present. They should also consider any threats or suicidal thoughts seriously and ask about access to firearms. The goal is to work together with patients and their families on solutions that reduce risks while keeping the conversation focused on safety rather than politics or personal opinions about guns.
