Migrant Health Newsline, Issue 1, 2013 by the National Center for Farmworker Health

How much do you know about your health center's Board of Directors? Do you know who makes up your health center board and what populations are represented? Your health center plays a vital role in the community it serves. Therefore, the members of a health center board should be a reflection of that community. As part of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Program Requirements, migrant and community health centers must have a farmworker representative on the board if that health center serves the farmworker community. Many benefits exist to having a farmworker board member. Although finding, recruiting, and keeping a farmworker representative on the board may sound like a difficult task, in this issue of Migrant Health Newsline, you will learn why this is so important, how it can be done successfully, and you will read about a health center's efforts to do just that.

Background Workers in the Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (AgFF) sector experience exposures directly related to the work itself, as well as the physical environment in which the work occurs. Health outcomes vary from immediate to delayed, and from acute to chronic.

Methods We reviewed existing literature on the health outcomes of work in the AgFF sector and identified areas where further research is needed to understand the impact of these exposures on immigrant Latino workers in the southeastern US.

Results Outcomes related to specific body systems (e.g., musculoskeletal, respiratory) as well as particular exposure sources (e.g., pesticides, noise) were reviewed. The most extensive evidence exists for agriculture, with a particular focus on chemical exposures. Little research in the southeastern US has examined health outcomes of exposures of immigrant workers in forestry or fisheries.

Conclusion As the AgFF labor force includes a growing number of Latino immigrants, more research is needed to characterize a broad range of exposures and health outcomes experienced by this population, particularly in forestry and fisheries.
