Official title: Radon on the RADAR (Residents Acting to Detect and Alleviate Radon) 2.0
Run by University of Kentucky · NCT07806799 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests different radon risk messages to see if they make rural homeowners more likely to test or mitigate radon in their homes.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Rural homeowners or primary decision-makers who reside in RUCA codes 4–7, speak and read English, and have not yet tested their home or have tested but not mitigated.
✕Probably not a fit
Participants who are not homeowners or not the primary decision-maker, do not live in the specified rural areas, or do not have internet access may not benefit from the messaging intervention.

What this trial studies
The trial evaluates how tailored radon risk messaging affects the intention of rural residents to test their homes for radon and to mitigate high radon levels. Participants are rural homeowners or primary decision-makers who read and speak English, with varying radon histories. Interventions consist of radon risk messaging materials delivered online to eligible rural residents, with outcomes focused on stated intention to test or mitigate. The study is conducted at the University of Kentucky under the lead sponsorship of Stacy Stanifer, with no listed collaborators.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, targeted messaging could increase home radon testing and mitigation, reducing potential radon-related health risks.
How similar studies have gone: Prior work suggests messaging strategies can influence health-related behaviors, but the effectiveness of radon risk messaging in rural populations is still being explored.
