The managers of beach businesses were randomly assigned to receive no intervention or two newsletters per week for 6 weeks that presented economic consequences of damage to coastal water quality and how to contact politicians. The percentage of proenvironmental political contacts was significantly greater in the experimental (newsletter) group than in the control group. Logistical regression showed that contacts in the newsletter group were more than five times that of controls after adjusting for history of contacts and predisposition to take such action. Results suggest that the intervention can promote political action that could influence environmental policies and human health.
海滩企业的管理人员被随机分配，一组不接受干预，另一组每周收到两份时事通讯，持续6周。这些时事通讯介绍了沿海水质受损的经济后果以及如何联系政客。在实验（时事通讯）组中，支持环保的政治联系的百分比显著高于对照组。逻辑回归显示，在调整了联系历史和采取此类行动的倾向后，时事通讯组的联系次数是对照组的五倍多。结果表明，这种干预可以促进可能影响环境政策和人类健康的政治行动。
