In case you missed it: MCN was abuzz this week with the the publication of a Health Network case study in the New England Journal of Medicine. Head over there to listen to an interview with Laz about social distance and migrant care. A lot happened in health justice this week, and here’s a small sampling of articles that the MCN team shared for our weekly Five on Friday.

Amy rejoiced in this new app, PestiSeguro, which provides pesticide handling and safety information in Spanish and English. It doesn’t require an internet connection, so farmworkers can access it in the fields.

Karen shared this important Lancet Global Health article: “Effects of non-health-targeted policies on migrant health: a systematic review and meta-analysis.”

Kate sent in “Workplace Safety Enforcement Continues to Decline in Trump Administration,” wherein the writer concludes, "This new system underscores the importance of the resource-intensive enforcement activity that is focused on some of the most hazardous workplace issues such as ergonomics, heat, chemical exposures, workplace violence and process safety management."

Alma in Massachusetts sent around, “Trump Crackdown Unnerves Immigrants, and the Farmers Who Rely on Them.”

Laz shared a New England Journal of Medicine perspective piece on the new research around a one-month treatment to prevent tuberculosis in patients with HIV: “Ending Tuberculosis Through Prevention.”

Have a safe and healthy spring weekend.
