Describing Mexican-American Farmworker Parents: A Cluster Analytic Approach
Author: Freeburg, Andrew L., M.A.
Date Published: 1997
This report describes aspects of family life, individual health, and psychological well-being as reported by 204 Mexican American migrant farmworker parents from 102 families in Northwestern Ohio. The research uses empirical clustering techniques to describe different family types among the sample of migrant farmworker parents. Specifically, the aim is to identify clusters or subgroups of parents based on their level of acculturation, income, and age considered simultaneously. The research then examines differences in parents' reports of family interaction styles, individual health, and psychological well-being for the different types of migrant farmworker parents.
