“…The HLC and TTM helped to explain the pesticide program effect beyond the traditional language barriers and health beliefs factors influencing this population [McCauley et al, 2002]. The pesticide program (one time intervention) did not change the HLC subscales (mean scores).…”

“…GAO, 2000). The adequacy of agricultural safety and health training and the effectiveness of protective standards for youth workers have been questioned (Quandt, Arcury, Austin, & Cabrera, 2001;Shu et al, 1988); furthermore, the practices and training designed for adults may not be adequate for an adolescent population (Committee on the Health and Safety Implications of Child Labor, 1998;McCauley, Sticker, Bryan, Lasarev, & Scherer, 2002). Documented insights into the work lives of migrant adolescent farmworkers as a group are limited; accounts of their work experiences are embedded in the sparse information on farmworkers in general, and much of that information focuses on inter-and intrapersonal influences on occupational health and safety.…”

The migrant farmworker population in the United States is a vulnerable and understudied population whose characteristics are constantly shifting. The number of youth involved in agriculture work is increasing, and they, in particular, may be at increased risk for occupational hazards, such as pesticide exposure. The present study utilized an ecological framework for focus group discussions with 33 adolescent migrant farmworkers in Oregon. Adolescents' risk perception and health beliefs associated with pesticide exposure are examined on four levels of environmental influence: microenvironment, organizational environment, social/community environment, and macroenvironment. Adolescents provided insight on such topics as perceived vulnerability of illness due to pesticide exposure, attitudes toward farmwork, influence of their boss, knowledge of occupational hazards, safety training, and barriers to occupational choice. Cultural influences on occupational safety and health are discussed and increased attention to safety training is recommended.

“…With input from all project partners, 7 we used previously validated survey tools that had been used with farmworkers 5,8,9 to develop a baseline survey written in Spanish. Between April and October 2006, the indigenous community educator partners administered the baseline survey at labor camps, farmworker homes, and community centers.…”

This follow-up study assessed indigenous and Latino farmworkers' occupational health and safety needs and measured variables related to pesticide exposure and pesticide safety training among this population. Results yielded differences between indigenous workers and Latino workers related to language barriers, experiences of workplace discrimination, preferred modes of information dissemination, pesticide exposures, and sufficiency of pesticide training. Employing more people who speak indigenous languages as interpreters, community and organizational leaders, and health workers may remove some of the linguistic and cultural barriers to occupational safety training.
