BACKGROUND Black women are disproportionately affected by hormone-related health conditions, which may result from higher exposures to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in consumer products. EDCs that interfere with the body’s natural hormones. OBJECTIVE The Product Options Women-Engaged Research (POWER) project was developed educate about EDCs. We assessed impact of social media influencer (SMI) campaigns on knowledge and awareness intentions change product-use behaviors. METHODS recruited seven SMIs engage their audiences EDC-related information Instagram. attended a workshop learn products then created Instagram content share audiences. surveyed at baseline 1-month after they shared content. SMI were cross-sectionally before posted evaluated engagement analyzed campaign audience. RESULTS posts reached over 16,000 accounts elicited 28,000 engagements (e.g., views, likes, shares). SMIs’ EDC increased attending sharing newly content, had greater avoid follow-up than baseline. Engagement also led positive outcomes among audiences, particularly impacted exposure reduction Eighty percent survey respondents reported will always consider company’s chemical policy product ingredients when shopping compared less 50% (P<.001), more self-reported an intention parabens (33% vs 15%, P<.001), bisphenol A (25% P=.032), per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (17% 9%, fragrance (5.9% 2.0%, P=.082). CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate researcher-SMI collaborations can be employed reach large women, improve EDCs, promote behaviors reduce
