Author: Wilk, Valerie A.
Date Published: 1988
The purpose of this report was fourfold: (1) to examine farmworker health data gathered between 1970 and 1985; (2) to describe ongoing research; (3) to discuss the laws and proposed legislation, as well as regulations at both the state and federal level dealing with farmworker occupational safety and health; and (4) to make recommendations for research and program priorities on farmworker health. In this follow-up report, we examine the progress made on the 13 recommendations under the leadership of the Office of Migrant Health--and we look to the future. This report also includes a list of farmworker occupational resources released after our 1986 publication.
