Hi Everyone!
I am an MPH student intern working on a project related to nutrition among Mexican farm workers in the US.  I was wondering if I could solicit some information/suggestions for the following areas:

1. I am looking for information on the dietary behavior (food consumption, gender issues, access/barriers to eating healthy, food security, etc.) of male Mexican-born farm workers.  I am especially interested in information on recent arrivals and changes in diet upon migrating to the United States.  Is anyone aware of any studies/projects/data of this nature?  (maybe someone has some data on nutrition that has yet to be analyzed...?)

1. Also, my organization is considering developing a training manual on nutrition for promotoras working specifically with migrant farmworkers.  Does anyone know whether any manuals of this sort already exist?

 
Thank you so much for your help,
