- Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to increase safe medication storage practices in homes with young children in order to prevent unintentional childhood poisonings.
As a step toward meeting this goal, this study aims to determine if an intervention to promote safe storage to patients who have young children in their home, including provision of a lock box or lock bag along with brief counseling versus brief counseling alone, results in 1) increased locked storage (and overall safe medication storage practices) of high-risk prescription medications in the home; 2) increased safe medication storage practices of other medications in the home; and 3) improved safe medication storage related knowledge and attitudes.
