简要总结
Every day, consumers use personal care products containing thousands of manmade chemicals. Growing evidence suggests that personal care products specifically marketed to Black women (e.g., hair straighteners and oils, skin lighteners) often contain potentially hazardous chemicals that can interfere with hormones or increase cancer risks. This research focuses on how the investigators can educate and activate community members in Newark, NJ to reduce disparities in exposures occurring through hair products. Leveraging educational clean beauty events hosted by collaborators at Clean Water Action, the investigators will administer surveys on hair product use and attitudes immediately before and after a clean beauty educational intervention. Participants will also complete surveys 3 months post-event to examine any changes in attitudes or behaviors around hair products and their use and safety.
详细描述
The investigators will evaluate hair product perceptions, knowledge, and use among community members before and after an educational intervention. At the beginning of Clean Beauty events hosted by Clean Water Action, the investigators will collect survey data on hair product use as well as knowledge and perceptions around product safety from attendees. The investigators will administer a post-workshop survey to evaluate changes in knowledge and perceptions from pre- to post-workshop. Three months after the workshop, the investigators will distribute a follow-up survey to examine whether the intervention had sustained impacts on hair product perceptions, knowledge, or use.

研究组 & 干预措施
Clean Beauty Event Attendees
Participants in clean beauty events will be educated on the risks of toxic chemicals in personal care products and safer alternatives. They will be invited to provide information on their personal care product use and buying habits immediately before and after the educational events. Three months after the events, participants will complete surveys on any sustained changes in product use behaviors.
干预措施: Chemical Exposure Prevention (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
The primary outcome is any intended changes in participants' hair routines from pre to post event
时间窗: The outcome will be assessed immediately post-event (1-2 hours after baseline).
After the Clean Beauty intervention event, participants will be asked, "Based on what you learned today, do you think you will make any changes to your hair style, hair routine, or the products you use?" \[Answer choices: Yes/No/Not sure\] We will calculate the percentage of participants who plan to make a change in their hair routine.
次要结局
- Perceptions of hair product safety following the Clean Beauty intervention event.(Changes in perceptions around hair product safety will be evaluated 3 Months after baseline.)
