Here’s how it works!

The Chapter’s ad hoc firearms injury/death prevention advocacy committee is excited to move forward with yet another step in its efforts to support pediatricians in the area of advocating to parents/families on safe firearms storage. To that end, we are rolling out a Chapter Challenge at the 2024 Annual Meeting: ‘Locking Arms:  Alabama Pediatricians Keeping Kids Safe.’”

  • To participate, complete the form below; your sign-up is a commitment to work on this issue in their own practice between now and the Spring Meeting (May 1-4, 2025)

  • You are challenged to complete three basic steps/activities to receive points for your participation

  • Anyone with at least three “points” will get a Locking Arms Tshirt and be recognized in the Chapter newsletter

  • Any Chapter member with at least with at least 10 points, will get three T-shirts, which can be shared with his practice team

  • “Basic” points can be earned as follows:

    • Two points for attending our webinar on September 24, 2024 or one point for watching the recording - click here to watch

    • One point for a social media post made on practice/clinic website using BeSmart or other resource materials promoted by Chapter (click here for those we have curated thus far; those who sign up will receive emails to update them when new resources are posted)

    • Another point for a second social media post

  • Extra points (participants must fulfill their three primary activities before these) will be given as follows:

    • One point for watching a recording of one of the previous Chapter webinars (or having attended live) held in 2023-2024 (see resource page here)

    • One point each for additional social media posts

  • Participants will be asked to complete an online form to report their activities with the Chapter.
