Sumario:Online maps showing locations for voluntary, temporary firearm storage are a novel approach in suicide and injury prevention. A study team from two states with maps (Colorado and Washington) interviewed leaders from six additional states with maps and six without. Key considerations for map creation were: trust and partnerships; legal issues; funding; and map maintenance. Addressing these considerations – through stronger networks, liability protection, or sustainable programming – may enhance dissemination and use of out-of-home firearm storage options.
