Yarning about river safety: A qualitative study exploring water safety beliefs and practices for First Nations People

CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the importance of First Nations culture to water safety practices, particularly around the river. To reduce drowning risk among First Nations populations, knowledge holders need to be embedded in the design and delivery of community water safety education. SO WHAT?: Co-designing water safety initiatives with First Nations Peoples will have dual benefits; developing culturally appropriate and locally relevant water safety education, while also continuing First Nations culture across generations.PMID:37607553 | DOI:10.1002/hpja.792
