项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract There are substantial inequities in pesticide exposure, other occupational hazards, and heat-related illness for migrant and seasonal farmworkers compared to the general population. One strategy to address these inequities is to ensure adequate health information resources are in place. This project seeks to use a three- level approach to promote health literacy among migrant and seasonal farmworkers. One, the project will identify and assess health information resources designed for farmworkers, identify gaps in available resources, and promote the submission of promising and evidence-based resources to the National Library of Medicine HealthReach database. Two, this project will increase health information literacy skills and knowledge of NLM resources among NC’s farmworker health outreach workers and pilot the provision of technology to enhance health education in combination with professional development opportunities. Three, this project will provide wi-fi hot spots and access to the internet in combination with health literacy training at farmworker youth programs and at migrant labor camps. A utilization-focused evaluation will assess both process and outcome indicators. In summary, this project seeks to improve information resources, enhance community health workers’ delivery of health information, and provide access to health information resources to farmworkers and their families.

项目概要/摘要农药接触、其他职业危害以及与高温相关的疾病方面存在严重不平等移民和季节性农场工人与普通人群的比较是解决这些问题的一项策略。该项目力图利用三项措施来消除不平等现象。第一，该项目将提高农民工和季节性农场工人的健康素养。识别和评估为农场工人设计的健康信息资源，找出现有的差距资源，并促进向国家图书馆提交有前景和基于证据的资源二、该项目将提高健康信息素养技能和水平。北卡罗来纳州农场工人健康外展人员对 NLM 资源的了解，并试点提供技术与专业发展机会相结合，加强健康教育。该项目将提供无线网络热点和互联网接入，并结合健康素养培训以利用为重点的评估将对这两个项目进行评估。总之，该项目旨在改善信息资源，增强社区卫生工作者提供健康信息，并提供获取健康信息资源的机会给农场工人及其家人。
