Arms

  • Arm: Pre-Focus Group Survey
    Before your focus group session, you will complete computer-based surveys about your age, biological sex, gender, income, highest level of education, marital status, insurance status, and health behaviors. The online surveys may take up to 40 minutes to complete.
  • Arm: Focus Group Session
    After completing the pre-focus group surveys, you will be assigned to a focus group. The focus group will include a warm-up discussion (10 minutes), a short audiovisual presentation (5 minutes) describing endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), and open-ended questions facilitating discussions on environmental exposures and personal care product usage and ALAC program from your perspective (75 minutes). Focus groups will occur by Zoom video conferencing and will be audio- and video-recorded. The recording will be transcribed (written down) word-for-word, but without your name or any other identifying information. The digital audio and video files will be destroyed after they are transcribed.
  • Arm: Post-Focus Group Survey
    After your focus group session, you will complete a computer-based survey to help researchers understand the products you use and things that you do in your everyday life, provide urine samples, and wear a wristband.
