Brief Title: Family-Based Intervention Study of the Effects of Environmental Exposures on Breast Tissue Composition
Official Title: Family-Based Intervention Study of the Effects of Environmental Exposures on Breast Tissue Composition
Study ID: NCT04265547
Brief Summary: This research study is being conducted to find out whether changes in household and personal behavior aimed at reducing exposure to environmental chemicals in dust (increased house dust removal efforts/cleaning and hand washing) and consumer products (increased us of personal care and beauty products that are free of chemicals including phthalates, parabens, and phenols) results in lower exposure to environmental chemicals including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and endocrine disrupting chemicals including phthalates, parabens and phenols. These chemicals may have harmful health effects, as they can interfere with normal functions of the body. This study will also assess changes in breast tissue composition to understand the role of environmental exposures in breast cancer risk.
