Pesticide Safety and Pregnancy Educational Materials

Pesticide Safety and Childbearing for Latina Farmworkers

We have expanded our promotora pesticide safety educational materials to include pesticide safety for Latina farmworkers who are or may become pregnant. These educational materials have been developed in Spanish and English. They include

A single page hand-out that can be given to women (this hand-out is in 8.5 x 11 inch format)

A poster that can be displayed during an educational session or that can be displayed in a clinic, school or other public place (this hand-out is in 11 x 17 inch format)

A lesson plan that is tied to the new materials, as well as to our existing promotora pesticide safety educational materials,

These new materials, as well as our other promotora pesticide safety educational materials, are available at http://www1.wfubmc.edu/fam_med/Research/Educational/.

The new lesson plan is called:
