This presentation will inform audience members about a research study (pilot project) aimed to learn more about a sample of clergy's suicide prevention attitudes and practices, specifically related to firearm access and safety. Results will inform suicide prevention efforts and educational programming targeted toward clergy populations.

Attendees will:
1. Identify two clergy attitudes associated with their likelihood to inquire about firearm access and safety, among the clergy sample surveyed.
2. Describe clergy's level of confidence to inquire about parishioners' suicidal thoughts and plans, among the clergy sample surveyed.
3. Provide three recommendations to consider when developing suicide education and training materials tailored to clergy.
