"Ninety-two of 353 physicians invited (26.1%) completed the survey; 1 respondent reported having filed an ERPO petition. Sixty-six respondents (71.7%) described themselves as not at all familiar with ERPOs. After reading a brief description of the ERPO law, 85 respondents (92.4%) indicated that they encounter patients whom they would consider for an ERPO at least a few times per year. Fifty-five respondents (59.8%) reported that they would be very or somewhat likely to file an ERPO petition when they identify a qualifying patient."
A piss-poor article in JAMA - one hospital (Johns Hopkins), survey taken 8 months after MD passed their ERPO law, lousy response rate of 26% (30-40% is a norm with 26% outside the acceptable margin of error), and talk about a conflict of interest...
"Conflict of Interest Disclosures: Dr Frattaroli reported receiving a grant from the Bloomberg American Health Initiative outside the submitted work and being a founding member of the Consortium for Risk-Based Firearm Policy, which developed the extreme risk protection order concept and recommends that states adopt extreme risk protection order laws. No other disclosures were reported.
Funding/Support: The Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research for provided the open access fee for this article, and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg American Health Initiative supported our previous work on extreme risk protection orders that informs this article."
That said, I believe "better" study would only confirm the findings - most doctors would Red Flag most patients given anonymity, immunity and if it were just a click-box on their laptop patient records system.
