Rural Midwestern Mexican Fathers’ Perspectives on Family Food, Mealtimes, and Physical Activity
Two focus group interviews with eight low-income Mexican fathers in two communities in a rural Midwestern state explored fathers' perceptions, behaviors, and roles related to child and family food consumption, mealtimes, and physical activity. On average, fathers were 34 years of age, had 10 years of formal education, and annual household incomes ranged from $36,250 to $46,249. Findings include the identification of fifteen themes through the pro…
Youth dialogue and design for educational possibility: Eliciting Youth Voice in Community Development
Working with a community-based organization, we engaged middle school youth in mapping the realities of and dreams for their neighborhoods. We document the process we used to guide youth reflection on themselves as learners and, more specifically, detail our discoveries about their schools as learning places. Using critical literacy as a frame, we assert that youth insights about the physical, relational, and agentive environments of school revea…
Procuring Health: Experiences of Mexican Immigrant Women in Rural Midwestern Communities
Thematic analysis was used to analyze interview data from 15 first-generation Mexican immigrant women who resided in two rural Midwestern communities. Ten themes were identified and aligned with four thematic areas of interest ( meaning of being healthy, strategies to promote health, challenges to health, and supports for health). This study provides insights into the complexities and realities faced by Mexican immigrant women, as they strove to …
Latina Immigrant Mothers: Negotiating New Food Environments to Preserve Cultural Food Practices and Healthy Child Eating
Latina immigrant mothers face complex challenges as they try to ensure their children get adequate nourishment to grow up healthy in their new U.S. communities. Eighty‐three Latina immigrant mothers living in a rural area of a Midwestern state who had young children and low household incomes were interviewed to explore their satisfaction with the food their children were eating, as well as ecological factors that affected children's eating patter…
Exploring Relationships Between Transnationalism and Housing and Health Risks of Rural Latino Immigrant Families
Interviews with 78 rural low‐income Latino immigrant mothers in three states (CA, OR, and IA) explored relationships between transnationalism and health and housing risks. Transnational activity based on language spoken at home, nature, and frequency of contact with family and friends in, and the extent and frequency of travel to the country of origin, was conceptualized as a continuum from high to low. Low transnational families lived in the Uni…
Involving Marginalized Families in Shaping Policies: Roles for Cooperative Extension
Family involvement in the policy-making process is critical to ensuring that policies are designed to effectively address family needs. This manuscript identifies critical roles for cooperative extension and other educators in involving families in shaping policies. Two educational tools, Sharing a Family's Story and the ROWEL Poverty Simulation, that assist in bringing a family perspective to policy making are described
