Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research study is to compare the effectiveness of radon information delivered via the radon app vs. a traditional approach (printed brochure). The prevalence of exceptionally high levels of residential radon in ND, coupled with public's poor understanding of this hazard, is a critical public health problem.
