Study Summary
This trial will test two different interventions to reduce exposure to harmful toxins in drinking water for people who use private wells. The study will determine which intervention is more effective in promoting behaviors that reduce exposure to contaminated well water.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for homeowners over 21 in Jackson County, OR, who use a private well as their main drinking water source and plan to stay in their home for at least the next year. They must be able to fill out a questionnaire in English or Spanish.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if community health workers can effectively counsel homeowners on reducing exposure to arsenic, nitrate, and lead from private wells. It's a randomized controlled trial comparing two intervention methods for promoting safe water practices.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, there are no direct physical side effects. However, participants may experience changes in daily routines or additional tasks related to maintaining well water safety.
