Project Highlight: Research-Evaluation-Guidance
Developing a New Lead Poisoning Prevention Vocabulary
Client: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch
CDC required a better understanding of whether lead poisoning prevention terminology is confusing or understood by the public. To help answer the question, ORISE conducted telephone focus groups.
The focus groups identified what factors or attributes of lead poisoning prevention terminology are understood or misunderstood by the public. The results were then used to develop message guidelines and recommendations to increase the public’s accurate knowledge about childhood lead poisoning prevention terminology.
