| Description: | Drawing from qualitative research, this article examines how trust in authorities influenced New Orleans residents’ reactions to warnings and public health advice. The authors discuss how perceived equity influences feelings of trust or distrust and suggest that community-based participatory research (CBPR) may be effective in building trust between marginalized communities and public health authorities. |
