Environmental Noise Monitor Instructions Event Category: Time-Based Event: 36M, 60M Instrument Target: Child's Primary Residence Instrument Respondent: Primary Caregiver Domain: Environmental Document Category: Instructions Estimated Administration Time: 2 minutes Multiple Child/Sibling Consideration: Per Event Special Considerations: N/A Version: 1.0 MDES Release: 4.0 Why are you monitoring the noise levels in my home? The National Children’s Study will help doctors and scientists answer questions about how our children’s environment affects their health and growth. To help them learn more, we need to know more about the noise levels in thousands of homes like yours around the country. What does the noise monitor do? The noise monitor records data on noise levels (loudness) in the room/home over time. It does not record voices/conversation. How long will you monitor the noise in my home? We’ll monitor the noise levels in your home for about 1 week. By monitoring for a week, we will see how noise levels change over time. What do I need to do with the noise monitor? Once we have agreed on a good place to put the noise monitor, you don’t need to do anything. Just go about your normal daily activities and pretend it isn’t there. Can I move the noise monitor? No, please don’t move the monitor. We’ll make sure we put the monitor someplace where it isn’t in your way but can record the noise levels we need. What if something happens to the noise monitor? Please contact us if something happens to the noise monitor. The contact information is on the back of this brochure. Can the noise monitor fall over? The noise monitor is very stable and shouldn’t fall over. If you prefer, we can set up a baby gate around the monitor to make sure it’s safe. Thank you for continuing to participate in the National Children’s Study. By letting us monitor the noise levels in your home, you’re helping scientists and doctors learn more about how the noise around us affects our children’s health and growth. Please contact us if you have any questions about the noise monitor. Insert ROC contact information (including phone number and e-mail) here.
