This research study measures the frequency of exposure-prone behaviors of infants and toddlers in the farmworker community. The subjects included 23 participating children (8 female infants, 5 male infants, 5 female toddlers and 5 male toddlers) who lived with at least one parents farmworker. Research found that boys had higher contact frequencies while girls had longer contact duration. These sub-group differences indicate factors such as age and gender should be accounted for when conducting exposure assessments.
