The purpose of this study was to identify family physicians' firearm safety counseling beliefs and behaviors. A survey was mailed to a random sample of 600 members of the American Academy of Family Physicians. A three wave mailing technique was used to maximize the response rate and yielded 271 usable surveys (55% response rate). Outcome measures included training experience in firearm safety counseling, the prevalence of firearm safety counseling by family physicians, and their perceptions regarding such counseling. The majority (78%) of family physicians lacked formal training on how to counsel patients about firearm safety and 49% believed more time should be spent in residency programs on firearm safety counseling. The majority (84%) of respondents never or rarely counseled patients on firearm safety and 50% believed firearm safety counseling should be a low priority in their delivery of primary care. The majority of respondents did not regularly counsel patients about firearm safety, did not believe firearm safety counseling should be a priority, and did not believe firearm safety counseling would be effective in reducing firearm-related trauma.
本研究的目的是确定家庭医生关于枪支安全咨询的信念和行为。向美国全科医师学会的600名成员随机抽取样本邮寄了一份调查问卷。采用三轮邮寄技术以提高回复率，共获得271份可用调查问卷（回复率为55%）。结果指标包括枪支安全咨询方面的培训经历、家庭医生进行枪支安全咨询的比例，以及他们对这种咨询的看法。大多数（78%）家庭医生缺乏关于如何向患者提供枪支安全咨询的正规培训，49%的人认为住院医师培训项目应在枪支安全咨询方面投入更多时间。大多数（84%）受访者从未或很少就枪支安全问题向患者提供咨询，50%的人认为枪支安全咨询在他们提供初级保健服务时应列为低优先级。大多数受访者没有定期向患者提供枪支安全咨询，不认为枪支安全咨询应列为优先事项，也不认为枪支安全咨询能有效减少与枪支相关的创伤。
