Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 You may want to speak with Tina Castanares, a frequent contributor to this e-group. I recall her and Blitzer doing an education session on obesity among farmworkers with a focus on dietary changes, especially the impact of fast foods. I am sure she can provide you with the sources for her presentation. I don't have Tina's emial handy right now, ut I am sure someone from the reading audience can provide Ruiz Assistant Director, Systems Development and Policy Administration Migrant Health Coordinator National Association of Community Health Centers, Inc. 7200 Wisconsin Avenue Suite 210 Bethesda, MD 20814 (301) 347-0442 (301) 347-0459 FAX (202) 365-0154 Cell Phone jruiz@... www.nachc.com " Youth is the gift of nature but age is a work of art.

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 information/suggestions for the following areas: * 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...?) * 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, Jenette Spezeski California-Mexico Health Initiative tel. (510) 643-7070 fax.
