This study evaluated behavioral skills training (BST), in a multiple baseline across subjects
design, for teaching firearm safety skills to 6 6- and 7-year-old children. Similar to previous
research with 4- and 5-year-olds, half of the children acquired the safety skills following BST
and half acquired the skills following BST plus in situ training.
