Culturally Competent HIV Prevention With Mexican/Chicano Farmworkers
Author: Organista, Kurt C.
Date Published: 1998
The purpose of this paper is to provide sociodemographic and HIV risk profiles for Mexican/Chicano farmworkers, followed by a discussion of culturally competent HIV/AIDS research with this unique population, and finally, recommendations for both future research as well as culturally appropriate HIV prevention strategies. It is worth mentioning that the frequency with which Mexican migrant laborers eventually settle in the U.S. blurs the distinction between Mexican and Chicano farmworkers.
