What do people need to know about endocrine disrupting chemicals and health? A mental models approach using focus groups of community-engaged research teams and a national survey
U.S. adults typically understood that EDCs affect health. However, incomplete information about how people get exposed to EDCs and misconceptions about U.S. chemicals regulations limit appropriate actions. These knowledge gaps are targets for future communications about EDCs and harmful chemicals more broadly.
