Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Women who are mothers of children aged 4 or younger, own a smartphone, and have not tested radon in the past two years.
✕Probably not a fit
Mothers who do not use smartphones or who do not complete the kit may not benefit from the app.

What this trial studies
This feasibility study invites mothers of young children who receive a free radon test kit to use a smartphone app that provides education, testing steps, reminders, and social sharing. The team will measure knowledge, confidence in testing, and beliefs about radon, as well as whether the kit is completed and returned for lab analysis. Data come from brief surveys, app usage analytics, and lab-confirmed kit returns, with feasibility metrics such as recruitment, retention, and engagement. The study is led by the University of North Dakota with NIGMS collaboration and engages clinics in North Dakota. No results are reported here; the focus is on feasibility of the app-based approach and participation processes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the app could increase radon testing among households with young children, potentially reducing exposure.
How similar studies have gone: Previous efforts using digital tools have shown promise for health behavior change, but this exact radon-focused app feasibility study is novel in this population.
