Description
The University of Kentucky BREATHE Program (Bridging Research Efforts and Advocacy Toward Healthy
Environments) and its Radon Policy Division’s faculty and staff will complete the following work to
advance radon awareness, education, and radon prevention science in Kentucky.
Radon Education for Health Professionals and Health Educators
We will build on our partnerships within the health care and public health communities to provide radon
training via in-person presentations, webinars, and a quarterly health professionals’ e-newsletter to
include the latest radon science, training tools, and educational tools to use with their patients and/or
residents. We will incorporate discussion of clinical practice guidelines where appropriate. We will also
use social media to promote the latest science, events (e.g., NRAM), and educational materials
(@UkyRadon). We continue to promote the updated Radon Continuing Education Program course using
our detailed dissemination plan. We provide continuing education for Continuing Medical Education
(CME), Kentucky Board of Nursing (KBN), Community Health Education Society (CHES), Registered
Sanitarian (RS), Respiratory Therapists (RT) and other professions (OTHER) who can benefit from the
online training material. We will continue to serve as administrators of the CE program. As required
annually, we will review and extend the CE course. We will update radon training marketing materials
for health professionals and health educators and make them available during our presentations and
webinars. We will also make them available on the BREATHE Radon Policy Division website and provide
access to the state to our website, just as the state has linked to KGS for access to our geologic radon
maps.
