This report examines farmworker health data gathered within the past 10-15 years, describes ongoing research, discusses at both state and federal levels the laws and proposed legislation and regulations that deal with farmworker occupational safety and health, and makes recommendations for research and program priorities on farmworker health. In particular, the report is designed to be a resource document for researchers, policy- and lawmakers, state and federal agency staff, and especially health care workers in facilities serving farmworkers. It provides a framework for a research agenda on migrant and seasonal farmworker health.
