Author: Martin, Sandra L.
Date Published: 1995
This study extends past research by examining the emotional and behavioral health of the children of farmworkers in relation to a potentially risky environmental exposure, namely, exposure to violence. In this descriptive study, the extent of violence exposure, including being a witness to and a victim of violence, is examined among 8-11 year old children of migrant farm workers. Potential relationships between sociodemographic factors and violence exposure and children's emotional and behavioral problems, and weapon carrying behavior are investigated.
