TI  - Reporting results of human biomonitoring of environmental chemicals to study 
      participants: a comparison of approaches followed in two Canadian studies.

AB  - Biomonitoring is used increasingly as an indicator and quantitative measure of 
      exposure; however, there is a large gap in interpreting and communicating 
      biomonitoring results to study participants. Two separate, national biomonitoring 
      initiatives are under way in Canada; the household recruitment-based Canadian 
      Health Measures Survey (CHMS) and the clinic recruitment-based Maternal-Infant 
      Research on Environmental Chemicals (MIREC) Study. The CHMS provides participants 
      with the option to receive all their results, but this option is not provided to 
      MIREC participants. The approach to reporting results to participants depends on 
      the availability of reference ranges and guidelines for which tissue 
      concentrations may be interpreted as being elevated or associated with increased 
      health risks, how participants are recruited, unique vulnerabilities of the 
      population, legislation governing access to personal information, and decisions 
      of research ethics committees. It is the researchers' responsibility to present 
      the best case for their approach and, once the decision has been made, to inform 
      participants about access to their results through the consent process.
