What this Trial Is About
Every day, consumers use personal care products containing thousands of manmade chemicals. Growing evidence suggests that personal care products specifically marketed to Black women (e.g., hair straighteners and oils, skin lighteners) often contain potentially hazardous chemicals that can interfere with hormones or increase cancer risks. This research focuses on how the investigators can educate and activate community members in Newark, NJ to reduce disparities in exposures occurring through hair products. Leveraging educational clean beauty events hosted by collaborators at Clean Water Action, the investigators will administer surveys on hair product use and attitudes immediately before and after a clean beauty educational intervention. Participants will also complete surveys 3 months post-event to examine any changes in attitudes or behaviors around hair products and their use and safety.
