We examined factors grounded in the theory of planned behavior that influence gun retailers' willingness to provide temporary, voluntary firearm storage for suicide prevention. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of gun retailers in the US mountain west. Analyses included descriptive statistics and ordered logistic regression. Ninety-five gun retailers responded to the survey (25% response rate) and 67.6% (95% CI: 59.6, 75.6) stated that they would be very or somewhat likely to provide temporary gun storage. Firearm retailers who agreed with the statements: "Our store can be an important part of the effort to improve gun safety in my community" (OR: 1.86, 95% CI: 1.1, 3.14) and that offering storage provided "The chance to be seen as a positive member of the community" (OR: 1.49, 95% CI: 1.00, 2.22) were more likely to state that they would be willing to provide storage. Firearm retailers are potentially important storage partners for means safety and suicide prevention efforts. Additional research and practice innovations are needed to assess gun retailers' willingness to provide gun storage and partner on suicide prevention efforts in other geographic regions.
我们研究了基于计划行为理论的因素，这些因素会影响枪支零售商为预防自杀提供临时、自愿枪支储存服务的意愿。我们对美国西部山区的枪支零售商进行了一项横断面调查。分析包括描述性统计和有序逻辑回归。95家枪支零售商回复了调查（回复率为25%），67.6%（95%置信区间：59.6，75.6）表示他们非常或有点可能提供临时枪支储存服务。同意以下说法的枪支零售商：“我们的商店可以成为我所在社区改善枪支安全努力的重要组成部分”（比值比：1.86，95%置信区间：1.1，3.14）以及提供储存服务能“有机会被视为社区的积极成员”（比值比：1.49，95%置信区间：1.00，2.22）更有可能表示他们愿意提供储存服务。枪支零售商对于手段安全和自杀预防努力而言可能是重要的储存合作伙伴。需要更多的研究和实践创新来评估枪支零售商在其他地理区域提供枪支储存服务以及参与自杀预防努力的意愿。
