Date Published: 2005
This article addresses some of the nontraditional work factors associated with the less-than-formal work organization and environments in the farmworker adolescent population. In addition, this article highlights issues that may inform strategies for conducting research or planning interventions for health research. Specifically, mobility, cultural patterns and social networks, alternative sampling strategies, alternative delivery of health care and education, and involvement of a wide range of players in the work environment of adolescent farmworkers should all be considered when conducting research or planning programs for this population.
