Study Summary
This trial will evaluate a nurse-led intervention to reduce exposure to pesticides in young children.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for licensed child care centers in California with directors who speak English. Centers must have been operating for at least two years, serve children aged 3-5 from diverse backgrounds, and have a quarter of kids on government subsidies.

Families with preschoolers enrolled who spend at least six hours daily at the center can participate if they speak English or Spanish.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests an educational workshop and consultation on integrated pest management (IPM) led by nurses in child care centers. It aims to improve IPM knowledge, policies, practices while reducing pests and pesticide exposure among preschool-aged children.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves education rather than medication, there are no direct medical side effects expected. However, changes in pest management practices could indirectly affect health through reduced chemical exposure.
