About this trial
Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer after smoking and may contribute to other cancer deaths; children are especially vulnerable due to a larger lung surface area and higher respiratory rates. The goal of this research is to test the feasibility of the radon app to promote radon testing among mothers of children aged 4 or younger when they receive a free radon test kit.
