Résumé

Introduction : La consommation d’eau du robinet s’inscrit dans une approche de santé durable.
 
Objectif : Identifier les croyances des jeunes issus de l’immigration concernant la consommation d’eau du robinet.
 
Méthode : Cette étude était basée sur l’Approche de l’action raisonnée. La population cible était les jeunes (14-17 ans) issus de l’immigration vivant au Québec (Canada) depuis moins de 5 ans. La collecte de données a été réalisée à l’aide d’un questionnaire disponible en français et en anglais. La consommation d’eau a été mesurée avec un questionnaire validé.
 
Résultats : Au total, 50 jeunes (52,0 % sexe masculin; âge moyen : 15,4±1,2 ans) ont rempli le questionnaire. La consommation d’eau du robinet représentait 64,1 % de la consommation d’eau totale. Plusieurs jeunes ont mentionné craindre d’être malades après avoir consommé de l’eau du robinet. Les jeunes percevaient toutefois que boire de l’eau du robinet est plus économique et meilleur pour l’environnement que celle embouteillée. L’opinion des parents et ami·es semble importante. Plusieurs barrières (ex. : mauvaise qualité, mauvais goût, incertitudes sur la composition) ont été rapportées alors qu’améliorer l’accès public à l’eau du robinet a été proposé comme facteur facilitant.
 
Discussion et conclusion : Les jeunes issus de l’immigration de notre étude consommaient peu d’eau du robinet. La croyance que boire de l’eau du robinet est dangereux semble répandue. Il serait important d’informer les jeunes sur la qualité de l’eau du robinet à leur arrivée au Québec et améliorer son accès afin de réduire les inégalités sociales de santé.
