About the WET Trial at Temple University
The WET Trial is a well water and children’s health study conducted by researchers at Temple University’s College of Public Health. It is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and is currently recruiting families in southeastern Pennsylvania. “WET” is short for “Wells and Enteric disease Transmission.” Enteric diseases are gastrointestinal illnesses caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
The purpose of this trial is to understand if drinking well water can cause illness in children that can include symptoms of diarrhea, cough, and/or fever. We want to know if treating well water can prevent these illnesses.
