TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - A radio-based approach to promoting gun safety: process and outcome evaluation implications and insights JO - Health communication A1 - Meyer, Gabriele A1 - Roberto, Anthony J. A1 - Atkin, Charles K. SP - 299 EP - 318 VL - 15 IS - 3 N2 - Three radio public service announcements (PSA) were created to increase knowledge of 10 gun-safety practices in a mid-Michigan county. Concurrently, a direct-mail coupon highlighting the same gun-safety practices was disseminated to over 70,000 households in the same county. Results of a telephone survey indicate that, compared to unexposed individuals, those who were exposed to the PSA were able to name significantly more gun-safety practices. Specifically, significant differences between those exposed to the PSA versus those not exposed were found for 5 gun-safety practices, as well as for a 4-item index measuring gun locking and storage behaviors, and a 9-item index that included all gun-safety practices.
