Download or read book Latino Farmworkers in the Eastern United States written by Thomas A. Arcury and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-02-27 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They work at some of America’s most hazardous jobs, have few protections, and receive some of the lowest wages. Latino Farmworkers in the Eastern United States describes this understudied and underserved population. Taking a social justice stance, this volume examines the health and living conditions of workers in agriculture, while advocating for equality. Contributors cover all major areas of illness and injury (including occupational, environmental, infections, and pesticides), while also focusing on systemic social conditions, from lax industry regulations to lack of basic services—problems that are exacerbated by workers’ status as recent immigrants. Mental health burdens from the effects of discrimination to substance use, as well as the cumulative impact of workers’ separation from families are discussed for a comprehensive, meticulously documented resource. Written to serve both the seasoned professional and the newcomer, Latino Farmworkers in the Eastern United States is a bedrock source of information for those providing health and social services in the community, for researchers investigating health and safety disparities, and for advocates and policymakers working to correct them.

Book excerpt: Nearly 20 percent of all migrant farmworkers are adolescents, and as many as half of these may be unaccompanied by their families. These youth clearly have special health and educational needs that require commitment from social institutions and agencies. In June 1991, a conference held in Delray Beach, Florida by the National Coalition of Advocates for Students on health issues affecting adolescent farmworkers was attended by educators and health workers who serve migrant youth, local and national farmworker advocates, and adolescent farmworkers. Participants assessed health needs, identified barriers to addressing those needs, developed priorities, and drafted recommendations. This report presents highlights of the conference, supplemented by interview data collected from service providers and adolescent farmworkers. Conference findings and related interview excerpts are organized around five major areas of concern: (1) substance abuse (drinking and drug use); (2) sexuality (sex education, teenage pregnancy, contraception, sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS, risk factors related to HIV infection, barriers to HIV prevention, and positive programs and practices); (3) mental health (psychosocial stress, family problems, generation gap and cultural gap between parents and teenagers, domestic violence, school attitudes, and dropping out); (4) physical health (nutrition, dental health, and access to health care); and (5) occupational health and safety (child labor, housing, sexual harassment, field sanitation, and pesticides). Extensive recommendations are offered to health care programs, community-based youth programs, local and state education agencies, and national advocacy organizations. Appendices list relevant publications, conference participants, and health service providers interviewed, and detail the size and composition of the U.S. farm labor force. (SV)
