  • Description:
    We evaluated the effectiveness of an intervention to reduce contaminant exposure from fish consumption among Asian women of childbearing age residing in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, area.

    Women of childbearing age were randomized to group 1, no intervention; group 2, educational messaging only; or group 3, educational messaging plus a motivational self-affirmation component. Then, we compared safe fish consumption knowledge, intentions, and behaviors among groups.

    Among 123 participants, groups 2 and 3 were more likely than group 1 to report "eating fewer fish meals" to reduce exposure to contaminants (group 2 odds ratio OR 1.42; 95% CI, 0.59-3.44; group 3 OR 2.76; 95% CI, 1.12-7.03).

    Self-affirmation messaging can enhance educational messaging to increase safe fish consumption among Asian women of childbearing age.
