Environmental, Agricultural and Occupational Health and Safety Educational Materials

[Guest guest]

Apologies for cross posting, please feel free to circulate:

The Migrant Clinicians Network (MCN) is interested in developing more

culturally relevant educational materials regarding agricultural, environmental

and occupational health and safety such as our recent comic book, Aun que

Cerca...Sano, that we developed with Farm Safety 4 Just Kids and the National

Children's Center for Rural Agricultural Health and Safety. (For more about

this Spanish-language resource that discusses children and pesticide exposure

and ways to minimize risks, see our web site at www.migrantclinician.org).

MCN is particularly interested in materials aimed at protecting children and

educating parents about ways to minimize risks. In developing Aun que

Cerca...Sano we did an extensive search for materials just to make sure did not

duplicate efforts. Again, to avoid duplicating efforts, we would very much

like to hear from you about resources (existing or out of print) discussing

ways to protect children from various agricultural injuries and environmental

exposures. Please let us know about such educational materials that target

migrant farmworkers, Latinos and/or the broader immigrant population. Below is

a list of potential topics:

Water quality

Sanitation

Personal Hygiene

Injuries

Pesticides

Asthma and air quality issues

Household Chemicals

Lead

Breastfeeding and the environment

Transportation and Structural Hazards

Skin and hearing protection

Please send us a copy or let us know how to order a copy. You may e-mail me

at aliebman@... or mail the resource directly to our

California Office.
