- Abstract:
A theory-based intervention strategy to improve purchasing decision-maker perceptions of ventilated tools was developed, implemented, and tested. The intervention was designed to target key constructs of the prevention through design adoption readiness model (PtD ARM), a previously published conceptual model. A Web-based intervention was developed that included information about the health effects of construction dust, a testimonial by a firm owner, and a video demonstrating side-by-side use of both ventilated and nonventilated tools, which provided visual evidence of dust generation and productivity performance. In a pretest/posttest with a control group and an experimental design, purchasing decision makers (
