One Minute To Save Lives – Teaming Up with Pediatricians and Families to Keep Kids Safe with Dr. Rinad Beidas | Ep. 136
Update: 2025-01-28
Description
Dr. Renad Beidas joins me to discuss a compelling study highlighting the critical importance of firearm safety in pediatric care. Dr. Beidas brought profound insights from her recent research involving 30 clinics implementing firearm safety conversations as part of pediatric visits. The study’s two-pronged approach—using both an updated electronic health record template and additional facilitation—remarkably increased the program's reach, with 49% of kids receiving the program when facilitation was involved, compared to a mere 22% with the template alone. This initiative responds to a pressing need for pediatricians to discuss secure firearm storage with parents, an effort underscored by the tragic statistic that firearm injuries are now the leading cause of death among youth.
