Announcement: FHSI Launches 4th National Needs Assessment!

[Guest guest]

FHSI is proud to announce the launch

of its 4th national needs assessment! Very little high-quality, national data

exists on farmworkers and available social services. Nevertheless,

organizations need data to set program benchmarks, learn farmworker needs, and

acquire funding to meet those needs. This research provides sought-after

information to outreach programs, advocates, and funders in order to respond to

farmworker disparities.

This project will collect data on migrant and seasonal farmworker health needs

and barriers as well as outreach program demographics, services, and

challenges. By utilizing five distinct methods, FHSI will be gathering and

analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data.

Online

survey with health center outreach program leaders

Community

forums with health center outreach staff

Focus

groups with farmworker parents

Telephone

survey with health center administrators

Existing

documents & data from farmworker-specific studies

FHSI will solicit the involvement and support of people in

the migrant health community. These

individuals will have an instrumental role in this national needs assessment by

sharing their insight and experiences with the farmworker population. FHSI

seeks to gain a sound understanding of national trends among farmworkers and

farmworker outreach programs.

FHSI invites you to be part of this important study! Your voice is not only welcomed, it’s needed! This research provides

sought after information to outreach programs, advocates, and funders in order

to respond to the disparities farmworker face.

Sincerely,

Adam
