Trial Outcomes & Findings for Monitoring Environmental Exposures and Behavioral Change (NCT NCT05338242)

Recruitment occurred primarily through word of mouth, posted flyers, booths at local events, and social media announcements.

Once an individual signed the informed consent, they were considered enrolled in the study. However, before assignment to one of the study arms, an initial questionnaire was required to get a baseline assessment. Once that was complete, the participant was randomized to receive 1 of 2 different kits of sampling equipment. There was some drop-out after consent and before assignment, which is why there is a discrepancy between "Enrollment" and "Started".

Monitoring Environmental Exposures and Behavioral Change

Outcomes will be measured by units on a scale that describe how often (frequency) behaviors related to reduction in particulate matter exposure occur. Four (4) behaviors were evaluated for frequency of daily (score=1), weekly (score=2), monthly (score=3), yearly (score=4), never (score=5), and not applicable (score=0). These were summed for a final score. The possible score range was from 0 (none of the behaviors were applicable) to 20 (none of the behaviors were ever done). For example, if all four behaviors were done weekly the final score would be 2+2+2+2 = 8. The outcome measure was obtained before and after sampling. The reported outcome measure here is the change in the combined score. Positive change indicates increased frequency of exposure-reduction behaviors.
