Author: Organista, Kurt C.
Date Published: 2006
The purpose of this exploratory study was to develop, implement, and evaluate a pilot HIV prevention intervention with one of the most mobile of U.S.-Mexico transborder populations: Mexican Latino migrant day laborers (MDLs). Intervention development was informed by preliminary research that included an HIV risk survey of more than a hundred MDLs and a focus group to explore the topic of HIV in the lives of MDLs. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used to evaluate the intervention and to identify some of the contextual characteristics of HIV risk factors in the MDL experience.
