简要总结
Appalachian Kentuckians in Martin and Letcher Counties are grappling with a health-threatening drinking water crisis arising from exposures to disinfection by-products (DBPs). DBPs include trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs), chlorate, and other compounds that have been associated with a variety of adverse health effects, including increased risk of bladder cancer and cardiovascular birth defects. This study implements a multi-stakeholder, multi-method approach to improve understanding of, characterize spatial and temporal variations in, and reduce exposure to DBPs in these Appalachian Kentucky counties.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in participant network density
时间窗: Baseline, 5-years
The proportion of direct ties within the network as compared to the number of possible ties as measured by an unbounded social media analysis.
Change in Environmental Health Literacy (EHL) - Knowledge
时间窗: Baseline, 5-years
Study participants will complete pre-/post-surveys of disinfection byproducts-related knowledge. Participants will answer 21 questions with multiple choice or fill in the blank response options that will be assessed for correctness/completeness.
Change in participant centrality
时间窗: Baseline, 5-years
The influence of each individual within the network (i.e., betweenness and degree centrality) as measured by an unbounded social media analysis.
Change in Environmental Health Literacy (EHL) - Attitudes/Behaviors
时间窗: Baseline, 5-years
Study participants will complete pre-/post-surveys of disinfection byproducts-related attitudes. Participants will answer 9 questions related attitudes/behaviors with a five-point Likert scale, ranging from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree, where Strongly Agree indicates a greater likelihood for the behavior/more positive attitude.
Change in participant reciprocity
时间窗: Baseline, 5-years
The number of reciprocal ties, which is the extent to which individuals within the network recognize each other as valued resources/collaborators as measured by an unbounded social media analysis.
