Brief Summary

Researchers participate in a hands-on training program on returning personal exposure results, and pre- and post-tests assess outcomes shifts in knowledge and perspectives on its value, and willingness to implement report-back in current or future studies.

Conditions

Behavioral Shift (Researcher Willingness to Report-back)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Beliefs About Report-back, Before and After Training Program

  Participants ranked how strongly they agreed with each statement using a Likert-scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).

  Participants completed surveys before and after the training program.

• Concern About Report-back, Before and After Training Program

  Participants ranked how strongly they agreed with each of 3 statements about concerns about report-back using a Likert-scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Responses were summed together to calculate sum concern (3-15). Higher values indicate greater concern about report-back so a higher post-test score would indicate a worse outcome (i.e., that concern about report-back increased as a result of the training program.

  Participants completed surveys before and after the single-day training program.

• Perceived Benefits of Report-back, Before and After Training Program

  Participants ranked how strongly they agreed with each of 5 statements about perceived benefits of report-back using a Likert-scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Responses were summed together to calculate sum perceived benefits (5-25). Higher values indicate stronger agreement with perceived benefits, so a higher post-test score would indicate a better outcome (i.e., that perceived benefits of report-back increased as a result of the training program).

  Participants completed surveys before and after the single-day training program.
