Key Points Question Among veterans at risk for suicide receiving suicide safety plans in the Veterans Health Administration, what is the prevalence of reported access to firearms and opioids and implementation of related interventions? Findings In this cross-sectional study of 38 454 veterans at risk for suicide, 28% reported access to firearms and 5% reported access to opioids. As documented by clinicians in a note template, firearm storage and overdose were discussed with 79% to 98% of veterans, but relatively few accepted firearm cable locks and/or naloxone. Meaning These findings suggest that completion of a note template may encourage routine discussion of risks related to firearms and opioids, although reported access to firearms was lower than expected.
