Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand the impact of an educational intervention on reproductive health care providers' environmental health literacy related to phthalates. The main questions to answer are:

  1. Does a web-based educational intervention improve the environmental health literacy of personal care product chemicals based on pre/post/post intervention survey data?

  2. Does a web-based educational intervention improve reproductive health professionals' confidence and awareness for communication to patients on environmental health literacy?

  3. Do concentrations of personal care product chemicals in reproductive health professionals decrease after the web-based educational intervention?

Participants will be asked to complete three surveys: one before the educational intervention, and two after the intervention. The will be asked to complete the approximately 1-hour online educational intervention, which consists of a series of videos from the perspectives of patients, OBGYNs, and researchers, an interactive module, and a worksheet to facilitate conversation with patients.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Reproductive Health Professionals - EHL

All participants will complete a pre-course survey, engage in the online educational intervention, then complete 2 post-course surveys. They have the option to provide urine samples before and after the intervention.

Behavioral: Online educational phthalate course
This is an online course focused on phthalates for reproductive health professionals. It consists of videos from patient, scientist, and OBGYN perspectives describing how phthalates relate to reproductive health. There is also an interactive module and worksheet to facilitate conversations about phthalates with pregnant individuals.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Baseline phthalate environmental health literacy [Up to 2 weeks]

    Measure of phthalate reproductive environmental health literacy via validated scale (pre educational intervention)

  2. Change from baseline phthalate environmental health literacy [Up to 4 weeks]

    Measure of phthalate reproductive environmental health literacy via validated scale (post educational intervention)

  3. Sustained change from baseline phthalate environmental health literacy [2 months]

    Measure of phthalate reproductive environmental health literacy via validated scale (2 months post educational intervention)

  4. Baseline Urinary biomarkers of phthalate exposure [Up to 2 weeks]

    Collected via urine samples, measure of previous phthalate exposures

  5. Change in urinary biomarkers of phthalate exposure [Up to 4 weeks]

    Collected via urine samples, measure of previous phthalate exposures
