PROJECT SUMMARY The growing availability of wearable monitors that measure personal exposure to air pollution represents a paradigm shift in exposure assessment, epidemiologic research, and citizen-science. In contrast to fixed monitoring sites or models to estimate air pollution exposure, personal monitors provide individual-level and actionable data that requires novel human subjects considerations. Previous biomonitoring studies that measure environmental exposures in biological samples demonstrate that providing participants their individual results in a meaningful way is beneficial to both participants and researchers. However, studies using personal air monitors have not engaged participants and other stakeholders to develop understandable and actionable individual reports nor examined whether individual reports influence knowledge, behaviors, or personal air pollution exposure. Therefore, the primary objective of this proposal is to engage study participants and their caregivers to develop effective report-back strategies for personal air pollution monitoring results. In addition, we will examine the impact of providing individual results from personal air monitors on participants’ environmental health knowledge. We will build upon our ongoing study of adolescents’ personal exposure to ultrafine particles where our data demonstrate that real-time air pollution monitoring, in conjunction with GPS coordinates, provides personal exposure information and compelling visualizations of when and where exposures occur through space and time. In Aim 1, we will engage study participants and their caregivers to inform the development of meaningful report-back materials that are easy to understand and provided in a format preferred by the intended audience. In Aim 2, we will develop and evaluate the report-back materials, including a novel visualization tool that allows participants to interact with their data. We will also conduct an exploratory study (Aim 2.1) to determine whether providing individual results of personal air monitoring improves environmental health literacy and examine the potential for this information to influence changes in behavior. Given the increasing use of personal air monitors in research studies, citizen-science activities, and among general consumers, data from personal air monitors accompanied by GPS coordinates offers the potential to provide actionable information to inform behavioral modifications and guide exposure reduction strategies. This information may be especially useful to susceptible individuals who may experience more healthy days with increased knowledge regarding locations and times of highest air pollution exposure.

项目摘要 测量个人暴露于空气污染的可穿戴监测器的日益普及代表了 暴露评估、流行病学研究和公民科学的范式转变。相对于固定 监测地点或模型，以估计空气污染暴露，个人监测提供个人水平， 可操作的数据，需要新的人类受试者的考虑。以前的生物监测研究， 生物样本中的环境暴露表明，向参与者提供他们的个人结果， 一种有意义的方式对参与者和研究者都是有益的。然而，使用个人空气监测器的研究 没有让参与者和其他利益相关者参与制定可理解和可操作的个人 报告也没有检查个人报告是否影响知识，行为或个人空气污染 exposure.因此，本提案的主要目标是让研究参与者及其护理人员参与 制定有效的个人空气污染监测结果报告策略。此外，我们将 研究提供个人空气监测器的个人结果对参与者环境的影响 健康知识。我们将继续研究青少年个人接触超细颗粒物的情况 我们的数据表明，实时空气污染监测，结合GPS坐标， 个人暴露信息和通过空间暴露发生的时间和地点的引人注目的可视化 和时间在目标1中，我们将让研究参与者及其护理人员参与， 有意义的反馈材料，易于理解，并以预期的格式提供 观众在目标2中，我们将开发和评估反馈材料，包括一个新的可视化工具 允许参与者与他们的数据进行交互。我们亦会进行一项探索性研究（目的2.1）， 确定提供个人空气监测结果是否能提高环境健康素养 并研究这些信息对行为改变的影响。鉴于越来越多地使用 个人空气监测器在研究中，公民科学活动，并在一般消费者，数据从 配备GPS坐标的个人空中监测器有可能提供可采取行动的信息， 为行为调整提供信息，并指导减少接触的战略。这些信息可能特别 对易感个体有用，他们可能会经历更多健康的日子， 空气污染最严重的地点和时间。
