Summary

The study trains clinicians to return personal exposure results to study participants in pregnancy cohorts, and measures outcomes for environmental health literacy for both clinicians and study participants.

Detailed description

To design and implement clinic-based report-back for endocrine disrupting compounds and analyze the impacts of doing so, investigators train clinicians to report-back individual chemical results to study participants in two pregnancy cohorts and then evaluate outcomes for both clinicians and patients, including shifts in environmental health behaviors, using interviews and pre-and post-tests. All study participants will get a personal exposure report and 200 participants from each cohort (N Total= 400) are randomly selected and assigned equally to one of two groups: 1) those who only receive their personal results online and 2)those who receive them in-clinic to measure additional benefits of clinical report-back for participant learning, exposure-related behaviors, and relationships to the study and clinical care.
