Jeanette: There was a study done recently at Penn State that may be of interest to you. The report called "Health and Nutrition of Hisipanic Migrant and Seasonal Farm Workers" can be found at www.ruralpa.org/migrant_farm_workers.pdf.
Good luck!

Subject: [migrant_health_research] Migrant farm worker nutrition -- help, please!
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:
- 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...?)
- 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,
