Safe and Secure Storage

Safe and Secure Storage

Firearms are the leading cause of death of kids in the United States, and in Colorado, there is at least one pediatric injury from a gun every day. In 2021, Colorado passed the safe storage bill which requires firearms to be safely stored when minors are present in the home. Despite this, many people don't know how to provide the safest environment for children. Pediatricians can play a unique role in gun violence protection. That's why the Colorado chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, alongside the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), have launched a new campaign called "Secure Their Future". This new project aims to educate pediatric practices across the state on the importance discussing safe firearm storage with families

To learn more about this program and how other states can replicate its efforts, we are joined by one of the leaders of this project, Caitlin Jones-Bamman, MD. Dr. Jones-Bamman is a pediatrician at Pediatrics 5280 and has been at the forefront of this project.

Some highlights from this episode include:

  • What "Secure Their Future" is and how the initiative secured funding.
  • Understanding the unique role pediatricians play in protecting children from firearm-related risks.
  • Learning how cable locks work.
  • How other practices can adopt this model.
