Objective: Although gun laws that disarm abusers following a protective order may reduce the risk of fatalities, this procedure is not uniform. To better understand this process, we adapted the health belief model to investigate how key community professionals’ evaluations of the risk of intimate partner homicide/gun violence, benefits to engaging in firearm relinquishment, and community barriers to implementing firearm relinquishment are associated with the perceived likelihood of communities implementing firearm relinquishment at the short-term and long-term levels. Method: Key professionals (N = 133) working in victim services and the justice system from one urban and four rural communities participated in structured key informant interviews. We used a purposeful sampling procedure to target professionals from key community agencies, followed by snowball sampling to maximize the response rate. Results: The perceived risk of intimate partner gun violence in the community and community deprioritization of gun-related intimate partner violence were more relevant to the perceived likelihood of implementing firearm relinquishment at an immediate, emergency stage. Participants’ perceived disapproval of the community to implement the firearm relinquishment policy was more relevant to the perceived likelihood of implementing firearm relinquishment at a more permanent, long-term stage. Conclusions: The results have implications for developing strategies that motivate different types of communities to effectively implement policies that disarm abusers. Given the strong presence of gun culture in the United States, it may be worthwhile to frame efforts around family violence prevention and community safety while avoiding the use of phrases such as gun control.

准备拉动扳机了吗？调整健康信念模型以评估社区一级家庭暴力枪支政策的执行情况。

目标：尽管按照保护令解除滥用者武装的枪支法律可能会降低死亡风险，但此程序并不统一。为了更好地理解此过程，我们采用了健康信念模型，以调查关键社区专业人员对亲密伴侣杀人/枪支暴力的风险，枪支交还的好处以及社区实施枪支交接的障碍与评估之间的关系。社区在短期和长期层面实施枪支交还的可能性。方法：来自一个城市和四个农村社区的受害者服务和司法系统中的关键专业人员（N = 133）参加了结构化的关键线人访谈。我们使用了有目的的抽样程序来针对主要社区机构的专业人员，然后进行雪球采样以最大化响应率。结果：在社区中感知到的亲密伴侣枪支暴力的风险以及社区优先使用与枪支相关的亲密伴侣暴力的风险与人们认为在紧急情况下立即实施枪支交还的可能性更为相关。参与者认为社区不赞成实施枪支放弃政策与认为在更长期的长期阶段实施枪支放弃的可能性更相关。结论：这些结果对制定能够激发不同类型社区有效实施解除滥用者武装的政策的战略具有重要意义。鉴于美国枪支文化的盛行，
