ALT We conducted qualitative interviews with 20 veteran firearm owners with recent suicidal ideation and 10 VA clinicians and administrators with expertise in veteran suicide prevention. We also convened an advisory board with veteran firearm owners and VA clinicians/administrators. Veterans and clinicians were enthusiastic about the potential for incentives to promote secure firearm storage. The final intervention will include two monetary and one social incentive. First, $50 will be offered to veterans who attend a follow-up session to update the clinician about their secure storage plan and a bonus $50 will be offered to veterans who provide verification of secure firearm storage. The social incentive will include written testimonials from veterans who chose to store their firearms more securely in the context of suicide risk. Incentives will be offered for any meaningful increase in veterans' secure storage practices.
