The authors then interviewed 122 community members in Washington (December 2022-March 2023) and analyzed the interview data inductively.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>A higher percentage of non-White people at the county level was associated with a significantly higher level of CWF (Spearman rank correlation coefficient, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.29 to 0.82; <em>P</em> &lt; .001), whereas county-level poverty was associated with significantly lower CWF (Spearman rank correlation coefficient, −0.36; 95% CI, −0.70 to −0.03; <em>P</em> = .02). High school completion was not associated with county-level CWF. Significantly larger proportions of Hispanics and Latinos lived in counties with higher CWF (<em>P</em> &lt; .05). From the interviews, more participants thought tap water was healthy than unhealthy, but 41% had mixed feelings. Similarly, more participants thought CWF was acceptable than unacceptable, with 35% reporting mixed feelings. Negative views about tap water and CWF were more common among non-White participants.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>People in racially and ethnically diverse communities in Washington appear to have greater access to CWF, whereas those in lower-income communities have poorer access.</p></div><div><h3>Practical Implications</h3><p>CWF is an important population-level strategy to prevent caries. Additional work is needed to improve access to CWF, especially for people from low-income communities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17197,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Dental Association","volume":"155 9","pages":"Pages 747-754.e2"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141616695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
