Farmworker Pesticide Exposure and Community-Based Participatory Research: Rational and Practical Applications
Author: Arcury, Thomas A., Quandt, Sara A.
Date Published: 2001
This article introduces a collection of articles that describe projects using community-based participatory research (CBPR) to address the health disparities resulting from pesticide exposure in agricultural communities, particularly the communities of migrant and seasonal farmworkers. The articles in this collection are based on a workshop convened at the 1999 American Public Health Association meeting. The goals in presenting this collection are to provide those endeavoring to initiate CBPR projects needed information, guidelines, and procedures to improve the quality of the CBPR experience, to increase the scientific validity of CBPR projects, and to reduce the potential difficulties and stress of these collaborations.
