Demographic survey, Mixteco workers in Santa Barbara

[Guest guest]

Greetings colleagues,

I work with the Central Coast Environmental Health Project

(www.ccehp.org) in Santa Barbara, and was recently invited to be on this

list. Thank you for the opportunity to participate with you.

CCEHP is in the final phases of conducting a demographic assessment of

Mixteco farmworkers in Santa Barbara County, focusing in Santa .

Although we do not claim this report to be a scientific document, but we

do know it will provide a better picture of this growing population in

our region, and will benefit service providers, health agencies,

employers and others working with migrant workers. In order to give

this report the credibility we believe it deserves, i'd like to ask

anyone who cares to reply about the process of getting something " peer

reviewed. "

Being unfamiliar with the process, i'm not sure it's even necessary for

a document such as the one we are working on. Again, this is not a

scientific report. However, it seems beneficial to have someone review

it who is well versed in the particular subject matter. We are in the

final stretch of completing this report, and would greatly appreciate

any thoughts or feedback.

I am more than happy to share information about this project with anyone

who is interested. In addition, if you would like to attend the public

release of this report, or be sent a final copy, please do not hesitate

to contact me at the numbers below, or at this email address.

Many thanks,

eric
