Acceptability and usability of a brief video report-back to share individualized residential indoor air quality data
摘要
Report-back of research results is the sharing of research findings with participants to assess knowledge attainment and behavior change.
ObjectiveTo explore acceptability and usability of a brief video report-back for indoor air quality data among adults with uncontrolled asthma.
MethodsParticipants (n = 37) were emailed a link to a short video describing levels of volatile organic compounds and particulates assessed in their home. These data included measurements using an indoor air quality monitor over a 2-week period. Acceptability/usability were assessed using an 11-item electronic survey.
ResultsEach video was viewed twice, on average, (range 1–13 views) with a survey response rate of 43% (n = 16). Respondents noted high usability; agreed information was useful (94%), they would complete one or more action steps (75%), and recommended video report-back in future studies (88%).
SignificanceVideo report-back can be a usable and acceptable approach for sharing air quality research findings with participants.

Impact statementThis study explores the acceptability and usability of a brief video report-back for indoor air quality data results among adults with uncontrolled asthma in the United States. Video report-back can be a usable and acceptable approach for sharing research findings with participants. The video format for report-back offers an additional avenue for sharing environmental health data and has the potential to improve science communication and prompt behavior change.
