Abstract Background Environmental health promotion interventions may reduce endocrine disruptor (ED) exposure. PREVED (PREgnancy, preVention, Endocrine Disruptors) project was developed to improve knowledge, enhance risk perception and change exposure behavior. Our objective present the phases of using RE-AIM method. Methods intervention consisted 3 workshops during pregnancy. Reach, adoption, implementation were assessed with qualitative studies. Efficacy study a three-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) on 268 pregnant women: i) control group (leaflet) ii) in neutral location iii) contextualized location. The main outcome percentage evolution participants who reported consuming canned food. Secondary outcomes psycho-social scores, ED presence urine colostrum. Results adoption centered upper-privileged women, but assessment showed that key features (highly practical intervention) seemed be carried out had initiated some behavior changes. A total women participated 230 (control group: 86 groups: 172). We found no significant differences consumption food having decrease bisphenol or parabens urine, we increase score overall psychosocial groups (respectively: +15.73 versus +21.03 intervention, p=0.003 +12.39 +16.20, p=0.02). difference butylparaben detection between (13% 3%, p=0.03). Conclusion is first research dedicated perinatal environmental education France.
