I am also involved in delivering free care to migrant populations at labor camps around our state and would love to measure cultural competency amongst our students and see if we can document an effect of the experience. Please let me know if you find any instruments worth using. We should probably talk and compare notes on what we're doing. If anyone else is doing similar efforts using health professions students to deliver care to migrant farmworker populations, please let me know. I'm trying to catalogue such efforts for the National Advisory Council on Migrant Health...to see what is being done in different parts of the country. Thanks. bruce

I conducted a study on the cultural competence of an organization.

It is described in the following publication. I have the instruments

used if interested.

Greetings Dr. Siantz,

I would appreciate an opportunity to view the (cultural competency)

instrument...I am also aware that you wrote a paper on migrant children

and women in Texas in collaboration with the Texas Migrant Council,

could I have the citation or a copy of your paper.

I have emailed you in the past, I work with the Migrant and Seasonal

Head Start Quality Improvement Center (MSHS QIC) at the Academy of

Educational Development (here in DC), I am not sure if you have been

contacted by either Carton from the Head Start Bureau Region 12

Migrant Program Branch Chief or by Sharon Yandian (MSHS QIC project

director) but we are interested in having you submit a call for paper

for our 2003 National Migrant and Seasonal Head Start conference to be

held in DC in Feb...if you have an interest in submitting a call for

paper please let me know and I will immediately email the call for paper

document.

Hi!! Yes, I am interested in submitting a call for papers. I even would like to

develop a panel

on mental health that would include a psychologist and child psychiatrist from

Mexico who work

with the families in Mexican towns from where many of the families migrate from

and into the

stream here in the U.S. I had the opportunity of working with them in August

and developed a

perspective on the mental health of the migrant family that provides a broad

perpective on the

impact that migrant labor hasfor families and children, and their living

environments in the

U.S. and Mexico. They would need support to travel to the meeting. However, if

this is not

possible, I am want to submit a paper. I would be happy to share my

publications with you. I

have written more than one article from the research that occurred with the

Texas Migrant

Council. I am in the process now of completing a pilot study focused on the

prevention of

developmental delay of Hispanic infants in order to prepare them to be ready to

learn and ready

to read in preschool. I keep looking for a research funding opportunity through

Migrant Head

Start to conduct such a study with the Migrant Head Start families. Any

guidance on funding

sources would be appreciated. Earlier this year I reviewed research grants for

Head Start, but

saw that none were available to Migrant Head Start. Any chance this opportunity

will open up

through Migrant Head Start. There is such a need for research on these children

and famlies,

especially research that tests interventions that will improve outcomes for the

children.

Looking forward to your response.
