RE: pesticide education materials for preschoolers

July 15, 2000

Hello ,

I have worked with farmworkers for 8 years as a medical anthropologist.

University of California Department of Agricultural Medicine has

formal materials. California Institute for Rural Studies in also has

some information. Camp Aide and Lideres Campesinas has some materials. Nino

a Nino program in Latin America has some materials. Researchers in Canada

and Africa have materials in English for some of their populations.

Environmental Protection Agency also has many materials. Novela program in

WA state has some materials. Maybe we should talk sometime. Next week I will

be in Fresno, so I will be free to talk in early August. Good luck with your

effort.

Dear :

The Association of Farmworker Opportunity Programs has developed and been

field testing a curriculum on pesticide safety education for young children

this past year. It is oriented for migrant and seasonal farmworker children.

We have also just received funding to develop additional curriculums for

children and youth. Please contact Lori Strauss, our AmeriCorps Senior

Program Manager, who is the lead contact person working on pesticide/worker

safety on AFOP staff. I would be great if we could work together and avoid

reinventing the wheel. There are too limited funds available and we need to

maximize the resources that we do have available.

Hi Tammy:

I had an exchange with one of the members of this listserve several months

ago regarding our farmworker health study. I had mentioned that we had

asthma incidence and she responded, asking whether I meant prevalence (which

I did). In any case, she told me that she had been to a conference where a

paper had been presented on the topic of pesticide exposure and asthma, at

least that is my recollection. The message has been archived and I may be

able to find it. Hopefully she will see your message and respond.

Hi to every one, I work with the Migrant Head Start Programs and I am

interested in knowing if there has been any research done on the link

between pesticides and childhood asthma? I am getting fairly concerned

over the increase in the number of children from Migrant and Seasonal

Families suffering from asthma. I am in California, but this " epidemic "

issue is not boundary descriminate. It seems to be across the board for

Migrant Head Start. Please let me know.

Hi Tammy:

Thanks to Louise Mehler, I believe you can find the report abstract for the

paper I referred to regarding pesticides and asthma along with some other

good cites. If I recall it was an EPA project as is the case with this

report.

- Thank you for your quick response! I hope to see some definitive

results with regards to this link between pesticides and asthma. I realize

the phenomenal task it would be to track these children, but a partnership

between the research group and the Migrant Head Start Programs could make

that task perhaps less cumbersome?! Another thought I have, is to develop

a National Flu Vaccine Campaign in order to get these migrant farmworkers

who live in migrant camps vaccinated against the flu virus. I would like

to partner with the Migrant Health Clinics and the pharmaceutical company

to accomplish this. Any input or advice would be helpful.

Or maybe you refer to this, from Narda:

The Environmental and Occupational Epidemiology section at the Oregon Health

Division is doing some great work with their workers comp. data, as well as

partnering with some private insurers, to get work-related injury data. The

section manager is

Heumann at (503) 731-4025. He is an epidemiologist with medical

anthropology training and has a statistician on staff who is doing the

workers comp. data analyses. As far as I know, they are doing surveillance

of pesticide exposures as well as dermatitis and asthma, under several coop.

agreements with NIOSH. It's a good

group. I used to be the manager, and have recently retired (Sept. 1st).

or this, from Adolfo Mata:

contact the Yakima Valley Farmworkers Clinic in Topennish, WA. They are doing

work on asthma and farmworkers--(509) 865-5898. They presented on their Asthma

Environmental Health Project at the National Farmworker Health Conference in

Portland.
