DESCRIPTION:Session : Firearm Violence Poster Session Program: Injury Cont
 rol and Emergency Health Services Authors: Guangyu Tong\, PhD Megan Ranne
 y\, MD\, MPH\, FACEP Abstract Background Firearm injury is the leading ca
 use of death for American youth. Few firearm injury prevention (FIP) inte
 rventions exist that are co-designed with communities with high rates of 
 firearm ownership. Given the excellent firearm safety record within 4-H S
 hooting Sports (4HSS) and the influence these youth have in their communi
 ties\, we are conducting a CDC-funded Type 1 hybrid effectiveness-impleme
 ntation randomized controlled trial of a bystander FIP intervention for y
 outh in 4HSS\, in collaboration with 4-H leadership. Here we describe rec
 ruitment and baseline demographic data for this study. Methods We recruit
 ed a national sample of 4HSS clubs to Guardians for Health (G4H)\, a byst
 ander FIP intervention\, from September 2022-February 2024. After club/in
 structor enrollment\, clubs were block randomized\, with randomization st
 ratified based on self-reported rurality of the club as well as the prese
 nce or absence of a state Child Access Prevention (CAP) law. After random
 ization\, club leaders shared a 10-minute video with families of youth ag
 es 12-18 emphasizing the non-policy-based nature of the study\; some lead
 ers also arranged presentations by national 4HSS leadership. Parents were
  then invited to enroll eligible youth and themselves online via RedCap o
 ver an 8-week period\; youth received a link to assent. Baseline demograp
 hics were obtained and analyzed descriptively. Intervention delivery and 
 data collection ends in September 2024. Results Of 86 potential sites\, 6
 1 site instructors enrolled and were randomized\, and 50 contributed base
 line data (24 control\, 26 intervention). Sites were from 27 states: 16% 
 Northeast\, 20% Midwest\, 24% South\, 40% West\; 52% rural\, and 52% with
  a state CAP law\; no differences were observed in region\, rurality\, or
  state laws between groups. Instructors for these 50 sites reported a mea
 n age 49.42 [SD 11.28]\, 34% male\, 96% White\, 2% Hispanic\, 96% gun own
 ers\, 8% veterans\, 58% volunteers (vs 4-H employees). Amongst the 50 sit
 es\, we received contact information for 368 families\, of whom 430 youth
  and 310 parents enrolled in the study\, and 422 youth and 301 parents co
 mpleted demographic surveys. (We will provide CONSORT diagrams for site c
 lusters and parent/youth enrollees at the presentation.) Of enrolled part
 icipants\, the mean youth age was 14.35 [SD 1.82]\, and youth participant
 s were 55% male\, 83% White\, 5.7% Hispanic. Mean parent age was 45.18 [S
 D 6.83]\, and parental participants were 36% male\, 90% White\, 3.2% Hisp
 anic\, 87% gun owners\, 5% veterans. The treatment group had a higher pro
 portion of younger children (ages 12-14) than the control group (62% vs. 
 48%\, p=0.007) and a higher percentage of households with firearms (90% v
 s. 83%\, p=0.068). Conclusions Enrollment of 4HSS sites and families in a
  national RCT of bystander FIP training is feasible\, with successful rec
 ruitment of our target sample size from a geographically and politically 
 varied sample of states. Instructor\, parent\, and youth demographics rou
 ghly mirrored those reported to us by 4-H\, with ~17% non-White\, ~6% His
 panic\, and ~90% household gun ownership - a group less commonly included
  in FIP research. Future analyses will examine intervention acceptability
  and outcomes.\n\nAdmission:\nRegistrationFees: APHA Event Registration i
