Child Firearm Safety

Scientific Research & Prevention Strategies for the Next Generation

Mission Overview

Our platform serves as a central repository for the FACTS (Firearm Safety Among Children and Teens) initiative. We bring together researchers, practitioners, and families to implement evidence-based solutions that protect our youth from firearm-related harm.

Core Initiatives

Clinical Intervention

Training pediatricians to talk about home safety.

Secure Storage

Distributing locks and safe boxes in rural areas.

Data Transparency

Open-source database for injury prevention.

Research Archive

Our peer-reviewed materials analyze the intersection of gun ownership patterns, mental health, and accidental discharge risks. We focus on state-level data across the United States to identify localized trends.
