Developing and Evaluating Novel Strategies for Reporting Back Individual Results of Personal Air Monitors

项目总结 越来越多的可穿戴式监测仪可以测量个人暴露在空气污染中的情况，这代表着一种 暴露评估、流行病学研究和公民科学的范式转变。与固定的 监测地点或模型，以估计空气污染暴露，个人监测器提供个人水平和 需要新的人类受试者考虑的可操作的数据。之前的生物监测研究表明， 生物样本中的环境暴露表明，向参与者提供他们个人的结果 一个有意义的方式对参与者和研究人员都是有益的。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开发可理解和可操作的个人 报告也没有检查个别报告是否影响知识、行为或个人空气污染 曝光。因此，该提案的主要目标是让研究参与者和他们的照顾者参与 为个人空气污染监测结果制定有效的报告策略。此外，我们还将 检查从个人空气监测仪提供个人结果对参与者环境的影响 健康知识。我们将在我们正在进行的关于青少年个人接触超细颗粒物的研究的基础上 我们的数据表明，实时空气污染监测，结合GPS坐标，提供了 个人曝光信息和令人信服的曝光时间和地点的可视化显示 还有时间。在目标1中，我们将邀请研究参与者和他们的照顾者向他们通报 有意义的报告材料，易于理解，并以目标用户喜欢的格式提供 观众。在目标2中，我们将开发和评估报告材料，包括一个新的可视化工具 这使得参与者可以与他们的数据进行交互。我们亦会进行探索性研究(目标2.1)，以 确定提供个人空气监测结果是否有助于提高环境健康素养 并研究这些信息是否有可能影响行为的变化。鉴于越来越多的人使用 在研究研究、公民科学活动和普通消费者中，个人空气监测仪的数据来自 伴随着GPS坐标的个人空中监测器提供了向 告知行为调整并指导减少暴露的策略。这一信息可能会特别 对易受影响的人有用，他们可能会随着对以下方面的了解而经历更多健康的日子 空气污染暴露最严重的地点和时间。

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.
