Study start date: June 30, 2023

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand the impact of an educational intervention on reproductive health care providers' environmental health literacy related to phthalates. The main questions to answer are: 1. Does a web-based educational intervention improve the environmental health literacy of personal care product chemicals based on pre/post/post intervention survey data? 2. Does a web-based educational intervention improve reproductive health professionals' confidence and awareness for communication to patients on environmental health literacy? 3. Do concentrations of personal care product chemicals in reproductive health professionals decrease after the web-based educational intervention? Participants will be asked to complete three surveys: one before the educational intervention, and two after the intervention. The will be asked to complete the approximately 1-hour online educational intervention, which consists of a series of videos from the perspectives of patients, OBGYNs, and researchers, an interactive module, and a worksheet to facilitate conversation with patients.
