Brief Summary

The goal of this study is identify educational material related to EDC exposures that is culturally appropriate for the black community and test the usability of the material. The main questions this study aims to answer are:

1. 1.identify problematic lifestyle behaviors and products in a minority population that may contribute to harmful exposures and subsequently determine the most effective and sustainable lifestyle recommendations to reduce exposures;
2. 2.develop culturally appropriate educational EDC EHL materials by collaborating with community groups and adapting from Million Marker's existing extensive online educational resources and recommendations;
3. 3.integrate developed educational materials and targeted recommendations in existing Million Marker platform and test the usability of the material using a cohort of 100 black community members.

Conditions

Environmental Exposure

Keywords

bisphenols; parabens; phthalates; endocrine disrupting chemicals; EDCs

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Changes in Endocrine Disrupting Chemical - Environmental Health Literacy (EDC-EHL) after the intervention.

  This surveys assesses EDC-specific environmental health literacy, based on questions in a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (strongly agree) to 5 (strongly disagree) or 1 (never) to 5 (always). Responses will be reverse coded during analysis as needed so that higher numbers reflect positive outcomes (higher EDC-EHL).

  Measured before the intervention, after the intervention (1 months after baseline), and at follow-up (1 months after the intervention)

• Changes in 'Readiness to Change' to reduce risky behaviors after the intervention.

  The Readiness to Change question asks participants to choose the response (sentence) that most accurately describes their current efforts and interest in limiting their exposure to harmful chemicals. Responses will be coded from 1 to 5 with 5 reflecting greater readiness to reduce risky behaviors.

  Measured before the intervention, after the intervention (1 months after baseline), and at follow-up (1 months after the intervention)

Data Sharing

• IPD Sharing: Will share
• Shared Documents: STUDY PROTOCOL, SAP, ICF
• Time Frame: Starting six months after publication
• Access Criteria: Researchers must submit an acceptable research plan (goals of the proposed research, the specific hypotheses to be examined, justification for research and methods), be affiliated with a recognized research institution, have demonstrated expertise in the area of the proposed research project, and receive independent approval from their governing institutional review board. Data will be available for use only to answer the specific question(s) indicated in the research plan. The researchers must provide a list of variable names and an outline of how research findings will be disseminated; and will be asked to sign a data-sharing agreement that commits to: 1) not attempt to identify any individual participant, 2) secure the data using appropriate software technology, 3) and destroy or return all data once analyses are complete. All final datasets will be de-identified. Final authorship on manuscripts will require review and approval by the Principal Investigators of this study.
