[Guest guest]

Florida has done some of this work but I am not sure if the assessment is complete. I will track down the stage of the results and send the contact information out.

Subject: [ ] Research on HIV risk behavior in

Migrant Farm Workers

Greetings,

I am the Program Manager for the Connecticut HIV Prevention Community

Planning Group. One of the targeted populations being researched by our Data

Assessment and Analysis Committee as part of our statewide needs assessment

is the migrant farm worker population. We are looking for any research that

has been done or is currently in process regarding HIV Risk Behavior,

Reasons for not using condoms, services needed but not available, barriers

to accessing prvention services (e.g. harm reduction, HIV and STD),

knowledge about HIV, and also access to HIV information.

If anyone has any resources, references or research they would be willing to

share via snail mail, email or fax, we would greatly appreciate the

information and reports.

Thanks in advance.
