摘要

In the past, biomonitoring and multimedia exposure studies have developed individual results report-back materials with varying levels of participant and stakeholder input. By not involving participants and stakeholders, study organizers may overlook the environmental health interests of the study participants and their community, culminating in report-back materials that are less relevant or informative for those most affected by the results. To ensure our study report-back materials were tailored to environmental health interests of participants and community members in a rural Arizona town near a Superfund-designated mining waste site, we involved participants as well as community and government stakeholders in developing report-back materials. The Metals Exposure Study in Homes tested for metals, previously found in high concentrations at the Superfund site, in biological (i.e, urine, toenails, blood) and environmental (i.e., water, yard soil, house dust) samples in 70 children from 34 homes from the surrounding community. During the study, participants received two printed household-specific report-back packets. The first packet, sent only to participants, compared their household's individual results to environmental and health guidelines. After each participating household received the first packet, the study manager contacted the household to address any concerns and ask how the packet could be more helpful and informative. After sampling ended, a participants-only meeting was held to address additional concerns and solicit feedback on content and graphics for a second report-back packet that would summarize study findings. For this second packet, the community advisory board and relevant state and federal environmental health officials suggested changes in layout and the creation of environmental exposure infographics, for which there were no preceding examples. By consulting participants, community leaders, and government stakeholders, we customized the study report-back materials to include environmental health information of interest to participants and community members that may not have been included otherwise.
