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.
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.

Researcher wiliness to share personal exposure results as measured by pre- and post-tests administered alongside a training program
Investigators are measuring if a training program on sharing personal exposure results impacts wiliness of other researchers to share personal results with participants in their current and future studies.
Time frame: 3 hours (the training is approximately three hours and pre-and post-tests are administered directly before and after)
