Promoting Radon Testing Among Mothers of Young Children
This study is looking at how well a smartphone app, called "the radon app," can encourage mothers of young children to test their homes for radon. Radon is a gas that can cause lung cancer, and children are especially at risk. You might be able to join if you are a mother with a child aged 4 or younger, own a smartphone, and haven't tested for radon in the last two years. The study will see if the app helps you learn about radon, feel confident about testing, and actually complete and return a free radon test kit. It will also track if you share information about radon with others. The current status of this study is unclear, and it aims to enroll 100 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study that plans to enroll 100 participants. It is a feasibility study, meaning it's testing if the approach works.
- What's involved
- You would use the radon app and complete surveys before and after using the app. You would also receive a free radon test kit to complete and return for analysis.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The study measures outcomes at initial enrollment, 2 months after enrollment, and 4 months after the last enrollment.

What this trial measures
- T1 (baseline: pre-exposure survey, distribution of free radon test kit)Initial Enrollment to 2 months after enrollment
T1 (baseline: pre-exposure survey, distribution of free radon test kit). The pre-expsosure survey will measure: Primary endpoints: (1) Radon knowledge, 20 true/false items); (2) self-efficacy, response efficacy, and sharing intention (7-point Likert).
- T2 (post-exposure survey at 2 months)2 months after enrollment
T2 refers to the time point where participants will complete the post-exposure survey, which will happen two months after T1. The primary endpoints are: (1) Changes in radon knowledge from T1 to T2, as measured by the number of correct responses to a series of 20 true/false questions (e.g., "The EPA recommends that homes with 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or more of radon should be fixed."); (2) Changes in self-efficacy, response efficacy, and sharing intention from T1 to T2, measured by 7-point Likert scales; (3) Radon information shared with others and recommended to others to test their houses for radon from T1 to T2. It will be measured by a series of yes/no questions. Analyses: Aim 1-directional dependent t-tests for mean changes; McNemar's test for paired proportions of sharing.
- T3 (end of kit tracking at 4 months)4 months after last enrollment
Number of radon test kits used and returned to the laboratory by participants. Directional McNemar's test for kit return proportions T1 vs T3.
