Brief Summary

Personal exposure to air pollution results from the interaction of individual time-activity patterns with levels of air pollution that vary over time and space. The increasing use of personal monitors capable of measuring geo-located and real-time air pollution in epidemiologic studies requires novel human subject considerations. Reporting individual exposure data back to participants is considered best practice in environmental health research using biomonitoring data and is beneficial to both study participants and researchers. The investigators believe that providing individual results of personal air monitoring may be more informative than biomonitoring data given the potential to increase participants' awareness of their exposure, identify specific locations and times of elevated exposures, and inform behavioral changes to decrease exposure and risk of adverse health outcomes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Report-Back Pre/Post Survey

  EcoMAPPE participants and their caregivers will be asked to complete a survey to assess their understanding of air pollution and beliefs about science and research before and after receiving their individual study monitoring results collected as part of their participation in EcoMAPPE. Likert scale questions 'On a scale from 1 to 5, 1=strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = neither disagree nor agree, 4 = agree, 5 = strongly agree

  Baseline and within 30 days

Interventions

Informational Report OTHER

All EcoMAPPE participants and their caregivers will be invited to complete a questionnaire to assess their understanding of air pollution and attitudes and beliefs about science and research before and after receiving their individual study air pollution monitoring results collected as part of their participation in EcoMAPPE.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 15 Years - 99 Years
• Sex: all
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

All EcoMAPPE participants and their caregivers will be invited to participate in this study. A total of 118 adolescents (age 13-17) were enrolled. Therefore, the sample size of this study is expected to be 236 (participant + caregiver). The sex and race of study participants is anticipated to reflect the enrollment in EcoMAPPE; 44% male, 74% White, 18% Black, and 8% other race.

You may qualify if:

• All participants must have previously participated in the EcoMAPPE Study as a child or be a parent/legal guardian of a child that participated in EcoMAPPE

You may not qualify if:

• \- Not being a previous EcoMAPPE participant or parent of an EcoMAPPE participant
