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.

项目概要 用于测量个人空气污染暴露程度的可穿戴监测器的日益普及代表着 暴露评估、流行病学研究和公民科学的范式转变。与固定相比 监测站点或模型来估计空气污染暴露，个人监测器提供个人水平和 需要新颖的人类受试者考虑的可操作数据。之前的生物监测研究测量 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 有意义的方式对参与者和研究人员都有利。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培养可理解且可操作的个人 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 接触。因此，该提案的主要目标是让研究参与者及其护理人员参与进来 制定有效的个人空气污染监测结果报告策略。此外，我们将 检查个人空气监测仪提供的个人结果对参与者环境的影响 健康知识。我们将以正在进行的青少年个人接触超细颗粒的研究为基础 我们的数据表明，实时空气污染监测与 GPS 坐标相结合，可以提供 个人暴露信息以及通过空间暴露发生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照顾者参与其中，以告知其发展情况 有意义的报告材料，易于理解，并以预期目标首选的格式提供 观众。在目标 2 中，我们将开发和评估反馈材料，包括新颖的可视化工具 允许参与者与其数据进行交互。我们还将进行一项探索性研究（目标 2.1） 确定提供个人空气监测结果是否可以提高环境健康素养 并检查这些信息影响行为变化的潜力。鉴于越来越多的使用 研究、公民科学活动以及普通消费者中的个人空气监测器的数据来自 带有 GPS 坐标的个人空气监测器可以为以下人员提供可操作的信息： 告知行为改变并指导减少接触策略。这些信息可能特别 对于易感人群有用，他们可以通过增加相关知识来体验更健康的日子 空气污染暴露程度最高的地点和时间。
