Hello,

            Rene Quintana here from Del Norte California,  there is a Michael Gomez who has been specializing in nutrition and Hispanic obesity for years and would be an excellent resource.  We are including him in our promotora program in Del Norte.

Hi Jenette,

Migrant Health Promotion has a chapter and accompanying teaching curriculum on nutrition for Promotoras in its Camp Health Aide Manual.  You can view these documents by going to our website - www.migranthealth.org, although the Manual is in the process of being revised.  You could also contact our REACH project in Texas to ask about nutritional materials they have developed or are aware of for Promotoras to use with diabetic community members.  Contact Nora Cavazos at 956-565-0002 or nycavazos@...

My best, Tori Booker

Migrant Health Promotion

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,
