Summary

This trial will introduce a new air quality curriculum, called AirActions, to high school students to educate them about the health impacts of air pollution exposure. The goal is to empower students to make behavior changes

Who is the study for?
This trial is for freshmen and sophomores in high school who are enrolled in Honors Biology, Intro to Agriculture, or Environmental Science at Pueblo East, Montrose High School, The STEAD School, or Grand Junction High School. They must participate in the AirActions curriculum.
What is being tested?
The study tests a new air quality curriculum called AirActions within freshman science classes and an after-school air quality monitoring program. It aims to improve students' knowledge about air pollution health impacts and encourage behaviors that reduce exposure.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is an educational intervention rather than a medical one, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be indirect effects such as increased stress or time commitment from participating in the after-school program.
