Impacts of a Report-back Training Program

September 13, 2023 updated by: Jennifer Ohayon, Silent Spring Institute

Expanding Effective Report-back of Environmental Exposures Among New Researchers

Researchers participate in a hands-on training program on returning personal exposure results, and pre- and post-tests assess outcomes shifts in knowledge and perspectives on its value, and willingness to implement report-back in current or future studies.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The investigators study the outcomes from a program that trains researchers to implement report-back, informs perspectives on the value of report-back, increases likelihood of adoption, and promotes insights from visualization of results. The investigators evaluate the training using pre- and post-tests. The training program includes an introductory module on ethical and practical benefits and best practices for report-back. This is followed by a session where researchers gain hands-on practice in report preparation using Digital Exposure Report-Back Interface (DERBI), a digital report-back tool. Pre- and post-tests assess outcomes related to their prior concerns about report-back, knowledge about report-back, shifts in perspectives on its value, novel insights about data from Researcher- DERBI, and willingness to implement report-back in current and future studies.

Other: Report-back training program
Researchers participate in a training program on sharing personal results. Pre-and post-tests are administered to evaluate shifts in perspectives and wiliness to report-back before and after the training program. There is no control group.
Researchers participate in a report-back training program to evaluate potential impacts on knowledge and future behaviors with respect to sharing personal exposure results with study participants.
