Migrant Seasonal Farmworker Analysis - Louisiana

Author: National Center For Farmworker Health
Date Published: 2004


PowerPoint presentation that conducts a spatial data analysis of migrant and seasonal farmworker enumeration data to enable health planners to target limited resources to areas of greatest migrant and seasonal farmworker need. In 1998, the Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) and the Environmental Protection Agency jointly funded a study to estimate MSFW populations at the county level, Alice C. Larson, Ph.D., then researched and developed state estimates for the migrant and seasonal farmworker population in eleven states: Arkansas, California, Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Washington, Oregon, Oklahoma, and Texas. This analysis of Louisiana breaks down the migrant population of the state into county regions and then compares that to the areas within the state that currently have migrant or community health centers. This analysis allows individuals to see the areas of the state that have farmworkers and does not have provide them with adequate access to health care.
