Concept for a Study Protocol focusing on Recruitment, Fieldwork and Sampling

This concept for a Study Protocol introduces a phases-concept to facilitate the evolution of environmental studies. It provides a template or model for the conduct of human biomonitoring (HBM) studies while focussing on recruitment, fieldwork, and sampling. It can be used for both the setup of new studies as well as to check protocols of already ongoing studies. This concept aims to address all steps that are worth considering when preparing a HBM study and provides a model to help identifying and filling such a study's different phases. This document is also included as an annex in HBM4EU Deliverable D7.3.Thanks to all partners of Task 7.2 and 7.3 who supported this Study Protocol. This document has been created for the HBM4EU project. HBM4EU has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 733032. This document was originally an annex to a HBM4EU project deliverable. This annex is here provided also as a single file for easier use and accessibility
