Description

This article presents findings from a 2009-2010 study surveying the beliefs of residents in four First Nations communities and a geographically diverse sample of non-First Nation Canadians concerning health risks from tap water and spending practices for bottled water as a substitute. The authors compare and contrast differences in beliefs between the groups surveyed and discuss how these differences may be related to water supply and regulation, trust, perceived control, cultural background, location, and past experience.
