The planners have identified migrant workers as a special population. I have copied on this email. He can be reached at 202.395-6166. I am sure he can put you in contact with the right folks in Mexico to get Mexican developed alcohol prevention materials. You can also call the National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information and request free alcohol prevention materials @ 1-800-729-6686.

One is about Alcohol use and the other one is about depression. If you send me your fax number I will be happy to fax the to you.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 Neander. Your June 07 request for resources on " alcohol prevention " is timely. Given the scope of your task and impending Migrant Outreach Task Force, may I suggest that you also include substances beyond alcohol. The task force should focus on alcohol prevention, if that is its charge. But it also should be prepared on " other substances. " Once contacts are made with the men and women who perform farmwwork, it will become apparent that some may want preventive information and/or cessation assistance with more than alcohol. I'm sending you a brief list of references related to substance use and farmworkers. V Bletzer. Dep. of Anthropology, Arizona State University, Tempe AZ.
