Health Campaigns for Agricultural Workers
HIA works in selected counties in California with local health agencies to implement educational campaigns targeted toward low-income, Latino-origin agricultural workers. This project seeks to improve health outcomes by minimizing behavioral risks among young, monolingual, single males in particular. Topics of the campaigns include: mental health, occupational health & safety, dental health and HIV/AIDS awareness.
