> Hi Everyone!

> I am an MPH student intern working on a project related to nutrition among

> Mexican farm workers in the US. I was wondering if I could solicit some

> 1.. I am looking for information on the dietary behavior (food

> consumption, gender issues, access/barriers to eating healthy, food

> security, etc.) of male Mexican-born farm workers. I am especially

> interested in information on recent arrivals and changes in diet upon

> migrating to the United States. Is anyone aware of any

> studies/projects/data of this nature? (maybe someone has some data on

> nutrition that has yet to be analyzed...?)

> 1.. Also, my organization is considering developing a training manual on

> nutrition for promotoras working specifically with migrant farmworkers.

> Does anyone know whether any manuals of this sort already exist?

> Thank you so much for your help,
