Guest guest Posted June 9, 2000 Report Share Posted June 9, 2000 Hi : We will have incidence rates for asthma among farmworkers based on a cross-sectional study of 965 FWs conducted in California in 1999. We should have the results later this fall. You can call for more details. Regards, Lighthall Ph.D. Executive Director California Institute for Rural Studies P.O.

I'm a student in the Family Nurse Practitioner Program at Yale. I've enjoyed reading the discussions presented in this group and it seems like a great way to tap into the great wealth of information that is dispersed " out there " . I'm looking for information on asthma prevalence in the farmworker population and how effectively it is being managed. I've done a preliminary lit search and come up pretty dry. It seems that asthma is largely considered an urban problem. Given farmworkers' chronic exposure to chemicals and dust and substandard housing conditions, I would think that it would be a common problem in this population. Are there any studies out there that anyone can refer me to? Does anyone have experience in this area? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
