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.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Arm 2: Health navigatorExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

People will receive a free well water test kit that is delivered by mail and the results from this water test. They will also be mailed material that is provided by the Oregon Health Authority's Domestic Well Stewardship Program which is the Water Well Owner's Handbook(in English or Spanish) and contaminant guides. In addition, a trained health navigator will meet with the homeowner three times to assist the homeowner's decision-making. Activities include: i) Interpreting results, ii) Improving health literacy and numeracy through teach-back moments, iii) Assessment of household risk for contaminants from well and septic, iv) Assessment of risk to family members, pets, livestock, etc v) Coaching to resolve ambivalence or lack of motivation and other barriers using elicit-provide-elicit motivational interviewing; vi) Assistance with decision-making and weighing financial options, and vii) Goal-setting and action plans.
