Abstract
This article presents a strategy to involve children in radon education through a poster contest. This educational effort completed its third year, sponsored by the Healthy Indoor Air for America's Homes program in collaboration with government partners. The contest is directed at middle school children with goals that include fostering coalitions between local radon partners and state radon programs, creating local publicity and awareness about radon, increasing radon testing, and publicizing Radon Action Month. Student posters are judged on accuracy, visual communication of topic, and reproducibility. The two national winners are recognized in Washington, DC.
