Water boiling is recommended by health educators in Sri Lanka, and boiled water is given to ill and vulnerable people, but it is not widely consumed by the public. The reasons for this behavior derive from long-standing notions about health care. This study complements one presented some years ago by Wellin, based on the health culture of Peruvians.
斯里兰卡的健康教育工作者建议饮用开水，并将开水提供给病人和弱势群体，但公众并未广泛饮用。这种行为的原因源于长期以来的医疗保健观念。本研究补充了韦林几年前基于秘鲁人的健康文化所发表的一项研究。
