Hi Joni! La Clínica del Cariño has conducted a health assessment of Hispanics in Hood River County, Oregon, many of whom are farmworkers. Our data is just coming out and we are in the process of annalyzing it.

We have received many requests to use the survey tool from all over the country. We will be happy to share the annalysis, data and tool with you when it is all finalized.

Maybe you could contact me in May or June for the report and data.

Hope all is well,

Hi Joni and all

sorry for the delay. Feel free to write me if you want more

info...Briefly we have about 5 projects underway in Florida.

First, our ongoing research and demonstration project Pocos Hijos Para

Darles Mas continues in its 6th year with male to male outreach,

education, family planning and a monthly radio PSA program on local AM

radio. We are currently planning our second annual Exemplary Father

of the Year Award (Farmworker Men Only). Second, the Rural Youth

Soccer Association, a bilingual league for farmworkers and their children

in Hillsborough County (N=200-300 kids 4-18), which grew out of Pocos

Hijos, is entering its fourth season (we have BMI data as well).

Third, I am working on an evaluation of family planning access issues for

farmworker women, but also males, in Homestead this summer. Fourth,

we have a small grant to do work with outreach workers and health

promotors across the state. Fifth, but certainly NOT LEAST, is my

dissertation research, which is currently about 1/2 done. It is

based loosely on the pioneering work Rick Mines et al (and CIRS) have

been doing on binational health status. My research looks at Urireo

Guanajuato and Wimauma/Ruskin Florida (where I have worked for a LONG

time), taking a critical medical anthropology approach to the study of

health status. I am conducting comprehensive health interviews

(health status) on 50 respondents in Urireo and 50 in Florida, with a

large ethnographic component of how people live, think about health and

am trying to look at whether or not, and in what ways, their views change

upon migration.

Glad to hear of all the good work out there! Would love to see the

spreadsheet.
