seeking info: alcohol prevention/interventions with im/migrant workers

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I am a grad student in public health and also work for a non-profit

providing outreach and health/other services to Mexican and Central

American immigrant day laborers. For my academic work I am seeking

references (academic and other available reports/information) on how

concerns about alcohol use among farmworkers and other/urban Spanish-

speaking im/migrant populations have been or are being addressed (but

excluding school-based or other interventions aimed primarily at

youth). What approaches or prevention efforts have been tried? To what

extent are they described or have they been evaluated? I am working

with a group that envisions interventions addressing alcohol use at a

more structural level instead of individual level treatment or health

education--but I can't find too many accounts that could provide us

with important lessons learned.

Please post any replies or respond to me directly (pworby@...)

and I will gladly recirculate any list I am able to compile.

Thank you, a Worby
