Abstract |
Increasing numbers of indigenous farmworkers from Mexico and Guatemala with unique cultural and linguistic traditions have been arriving in the Pacific Northwest. In this study, multilingual project outreach workers administered surveys to 150 farmworkers in Oregon to assess health, occupational safety and general living conditions. The study confirms the increasing presence of indigenous peoples in Oregon and characterizes differences between indigenous and Latino farmworkers' occupational and health needs. |
