Participants assigned to the print brochure group will receive three educational print brochures about radon published by EPA via postal mails for three months (one per each month).

Participants assigned to the radon app group will be asked to use the radon app for three months where they will be exposed to mobile friendly educational content that is repurposed from educational print brochures about radon published by EPA.

Participants will be asked to use the radon app.

The radon app

Participants will receive print brochures.

This research will compare (1) the effectiveness of a mobile radon-education app (vs. traditional brochures) and (2) that of the radon app with in-app reminders (vs. the radon app without in-app reminders and the no app use with postal reminders) to increase radon awareness and testing among North Dakotans. The prevalence of exceptionally high levels of residential radon in ND, coupled with public's poor understanding of this hazard, is a critical public health problem.

The purpose of this research study is to compare the effectiveness of radon information delivered via the radon app vs. a traditional approach (printed brochure). The prevalence of exceptionally high levels of residential radon in ND, coupled with public's poor understanding of this hazard, is a critical public health problem.

Korean American (KA) women have among the highest breast cancer mortality rates and lowest breast cancer screening rates of U.S. American women across racial/ethical groups. This innovative project seeks to harness mobile phone technology as a means to take preventative health care to a new level among this population. Using the Fogg Behavioral Model this study proposes to develop a mobile phone-based intervention designed to motivate KA women to undergo an annual mammogram (mMammogram). The overall study aim is to develop and assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a 7-day long mMammogram intervention designed to persuade KA women to undergo breast cancer screening.

Specific aims over the three-year period include the following: (1) The first year will be devoted to intervention and protocol development. A major emphasis in year 1 will be developing the community advisory board (CAB), conducting a series of pre-intervention focus groups, and working with pertinent persuasive technology consultants to develop and pilot-test the intervention. (2) The second year and the first half of the third year will focus on delivery of the intervention. (3) the second half of the third year will be devoted to data analysis and dissemination.

Mobile Phone Multimedia Messaging Intervention for Breast Cancer Screening: Intervention Phase

The receipt of mammogram (or scheduled appointment) will be measured by self-report.

Breast cancer knowledge will be measured by means of McCance, Mooney and Smith's ten-item "Breast Cancer Knowledge" test.

Change in health beliefs will be measured using Champion's Health Belief Model scales.

Culture-specific attitudes toward breast cancer screening, such as modesty, will be measured utilizing six items from Tang and colleagues and fatalistic attitudes toward breast cancer will be measured by means of three items from Taylor and colleagues.

We will measure participant intent to undergo screening by use of an adapted version of the transtheoretical model.
