Healthy Homes Study: Understanding Radon Testing
The Healthy Homes Study is looking into how to encourage people to test their homes for radon, a gas that can cause lung cancer. This study has two parts. The first part uses focus groups to understand people's thoughts and plans about radon testing. The second part tests different online health messages and reminders to see if they encourage more people to request a free radon test kit. You might be able to join if you are at least 18, live in New Hampshire or Vermont, haven't tested your current home for radon, and live there year-round. The study will measure how many people join, complete surveys, and request a radon test kit.
