Participants needed for teleworking environmental health study

Do you spend at least one day per week working from home and one day per week in the office? We are recruiting participants for a study on environmental exposures and worker well-being when working at home versus in the office.

Your participation can inform workplace policies and practices to support employee well-being. This research will help us understand how work location impacts workers' health.

If you agree to participate, you will be asked to complete:

Two days of environmental monitoring: measure air quality and physical environment, and answer questions about your home and office workspaces (one day in a typical onsite environment and one day at home).

Brief two- to five-minute smartphone surveys five times per day.

Wear personal exposure monitors to measure exposure to air pollution at home, while working, and while commuting.

Wear a sleep and physical activity tracker on your wrist during the study period.

Provide a saliva sample four times (morning and evening) during the two days of environmental monitoring.

$120 in compensation (Amazon or Target gift card) is provided for participation.
