ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Nine migrant agricultural workers died in Ontario, Canada, between January 2020 and June 2021.METHODS:
To better understand the factors that contributed to the deaths of these migrant agricultural workers, we used a modified qualitative descriptive approach. A research team of clinical and academic experts reviewed coroner files of the nine deceased workers and undertook an accompanying media scan. A minimum of two reviewers read each file using a standardized data extraction tool.RESULTS:
We identified four domains of risk, each of which encompassed various factors that likely exacerbated the risk of poor healthoutcomes:
(1) recruitment and travel risks; (2) missed steps and substandard conditions of healthcare monitoring, quarantine, and isolation; (3) barriers to accessing healthcare; and (4) missing information and broader issues of concern.CONCLUSION:
Migrant agricultural workers have been disproportionately harmed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Greater attention to the unique needs of this population is required to avoid further preventable deaths.Palavras-chave
