In this randomized controlled trial, researchers will assess the expansion of the S.A.F.E. Firearm program into adult primary care and women\'s health at two health systems in Michigan and Colorado that have previously implemented S.A.F.E. Firearm in pediatrics. S.A.F.E. Firearm involves a brief conversation between health care staff and patients about secure firearm storage and an offer of a free firearm cable lock. Researchers will test S.A.F.E. Firearm and a package of strategies intended to help health care staff incorporate the program into their practice. The strategies include: training, a prompt in the electronic health record, and facilitation, or tailored problem-solving support. The study seeks to answer the following questions: * How effective is S.A.F.E. Firearm at changing patients\' firearm storage behavior? * How effective is the implementation strategy package at increasing delivery of the S.A.F.E. Firearm program? Some patients and health care staff will be invited to participate in surveys and/or interviews about their experiences with S.A.F.E. Firearm and the implementation strategy package.
