Date Published: 1989
The purpose of this guideline is to provide the patient with the necessary information, supplies, and medication to avoid unwanted pregnancy. The guideline follows a SOAP format (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan). Within each component of the SOAP format, "trigger statements" that target specific problem areas for providers who work with migrant patients are noted. These statements are designed to "trigger" a response from a provider to question the appropriate method of care needed for a migrant patient. These migrant-specific statements follow four primary areas where consideration in serving migrant farmworkers or in designing a plan should be given.
