ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to describe the characteristics and health status of a sample of migrant farmworkers in the Shenandoah Valley. The methodology for this study is a retrospective record review and analysis of data on 390 male migrant farmworkers. The group included men from Mexico (57. 2%), Jamaica (26. 9%), and Haiti (13. 0%) with a mean age of 38.5 years. The most common health problems reported were work-related and included musculoskeletal pain, irritated eyes, and respiratory symptoms. This study identifies areas for community and public health nurses to target interventions to address health promotion/disease prevention efforts.
