Summary

The goal of this project is to develop and test the effectiveness of a Lay Health Advisor program to teach migrant and seasonal farmworkers about pesticide safety in their homes. This is a community-based collaborative research project in which we first conduct in-depth interviews with farmworkers to learn about their knowledge and beliefs relative to pesticide exposure in the home, and, second, develop the content of the Lay Health Advisor program based on this formative information. We will evaluate this program by conducting pre- and post-test interviews with farmworkers, and comparing safety and knowledge to a control group who receive other important health education.
