The Ceasefire Oregon gun turn in program was initiated to educate the community regarding violence through a gun turn-in program with voluntary surrender of firearms, educational efforts about violence, and institution of public safety policies. The community board of directors was composed of multiple community leadership organizations. A multi-intervention education, outreach and media program consisting of distribution of brochures, presentations, school education programs, and workshops was implemented throughout the year in addition to the gun turn-in program held in May for two days. A survey was administered to participants in the program at the turn-in sites. The cumulative total for guns turned in years 1994 to 1999 was 4,345. Half of the respondents reported possession of a gun at home. The most common reasons for participating in the gun turn in were obtaining gift certificates and not wanting the gun any more. A successful community grassroots program, Ceasefire Oregon has shown sustainability over six years with increased participation secondary to education, advertising and incentives. Community and statewide efforts can assist with building the infrastructure for programs, however more tools for quantitative performance program evaluation would facilitate measuring the impact on the community.
俄勒冈州停火枪支上缴计划旨在通过枪支上缴计划（自愿上缴枪支）、暴力问题教育工作以及公共安全政策的制定，向社区宣传暴力问题。社区董事会由多个社区领导组织组成。除了5月份举行为期两天的枪支上缴活动外，全年还实施了一项多干预教育、外展和媒体计划，包括分发宣传册、举办讲座、开展学校教育项目以及举办工作坊。在枪支上缴地点对该计划的参与者进行了一项调查。1994年至1999年上缴枪支的累计总数为4345支。一半的受访者报告称家中有枪。参与枪支上缴的最常见原因是获得礼品券以及不再想要枪支。俄勒冈州停火计划是一个成功的社区基层项目，在六年时间里展现出可持续性，由于教育、宣传和激励措施，参与人数有所增加。社区和全州范围的努力有助于为项目建设基础设施，然而，更多用于定量绩效项目评估的工具将有助于衡量对社区的影响。
