Penn State Seeks Participants for Survey Study on Trust of Water in PA

We at the Water, Health, and Nutrition Laboratory at Pennsylvania State University are conducting a study on experiences and trust around water in Pennsylvania. The purpose of this study is to better understand how the social and physical environment affects how people perceive the safety and trust of their water and how this affects different aspects of their lives, like nutritional behaviors and health outcomes. The study is asking questions about where people get their water, what affects the decision to use a specific water source, and how different environmental conditions affect experiences around water. We are especially interested in people who use private water sources like private wells and roadside springs, or those who live in Philadelphia. The survey takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. We will provide a $25 Amazon gift card for participants in this study. Additionally, the information that is learned in this study could be used to improve educational activities in the area.

You are eligible to participate in this study if you meet the following criteria: (1) your household uses municipal, well, or roadside springs for household water use and consumption; (2) you are over 18 years of age; (3) you are knowledgeable about your household’s water situation; and (4) you are comfortable conversing in English.
