Increasingly, researchers in childhood lead poisoning face demands to better notify study participants of results of environmental testing. These demands come from a variety of sources - institutional review boards, community-based organizations, study participants, the legal and regulatory community and ethical considerations. This round table discussion will focus on issues surrounding notification addressed in 3 to 4 lead hazard control studies. Specific areas to be addressed include tailoring materials to study participants, identifying appropriate formats for communication, evaluating which specific information should be provided, and addressing the needs for recommendations. Session participants will have the chance to examine documents used to notify study participants of environmental testing results and share their own experiences.

Learning Objectives:

• Session participants should be able to discuss and debate ethics, law, and science; and
• observe and contrast the content of 3-4 notification of result study materials
