Reporting Back Pesticide Results to Family Child Care Home Directors
open to eligible people ages 18-80
Child Care Health Consultants will provide an integrated pest management (IPM) intervention for ~30 family child care home directors. The intervention will include an educational component, collecting carpet dust samples, reporting back the pesticides identified in the carpet, and 7-monthly consultations to identify ways to reduce their exposure to pesticides and lower their long term health risks.
