Economic and Health Needs of Wisconsin Migrant Farm Workers
Migrant farm workers play an essential role in the planting and harvesting of crops in our agricultural production system. In the United States today, about 6 percent of the paid farm labor force “follow the crops” across the nation. This article reports on the economic and health care needs of migrant farm workers who travel from the border areas of Texas to Wisconsin each year. Surveys conducted in 1978 and 1989 show that this population remain…
Health Status and Needs of Migrant Farm Workers in the United States
Migrant farmworkers lead a hard life filled with strenuous work, stress, and anxiety about employment; live under substandard conditions; and rarely get the health care they require. Preventive care is a luxury they cannot afford. Year-round nutritious meals are rarely possible, due to long working hours, traveling, and living in housing without adequate cooking and refrigeration facilities. Children may attend up to six or more schools during th…

Characteristics of mothers are examined for four subgroups: residents of central cities, suburbs, small towns, and rural areas. Using Public Use Microdata Sample data from the 1980 Census, results are presented using Multiple Classification Analysis. After controlling for the effects of mother's race, marital status, educ…

Folk and Clinical Medical Utilization Patterns Among Mejicano Migrant Farmworkers
Each year, migrant workers from south Texas and Mexico travel north more than 2,000 miles for seasonal work in agriculture. They carry with them knowledge of both basic folk medicine and clinical medicine. This paper investigates migrants' utilization of folk healing and clinical medicine in both the sending and receiving states. Two methods of collecting data were employed: (a) a structured interview with a 10% stratified random sample of the wo…
The Effects of Social Characteristics on the Utilization of Preventive Medical Services in Contrasting Health Care Programs
This study, based on household interviews of employed individuals and their families, examines the effects of type of health insurance program and various sociodemographic factors on patterns of use of preventive medical services. A major concern of the paper is to explore the issue of whether participants in prepaid group practice use preventive services more than those in alternative insurance plans. The results show little differences in utili…
Marital Fertility and Size of Family of Orientation
En iresmuestras de parejas se encuentra una moderada regresión positiva del número de nacimientos con respecto al número de hijos de la mujer o del marido. En dos de las muestras aparece la misma relación en un grupode cohortes observadas primero en 1955 y luego en 1962. La relación es un tanto más estrecha en las parejas fértiles que planearon sus familias que en las otras, y en las mujeres cuya edad fértil había llegado a su término en 1962 que…
Fertility differentials for the indigenous non-farm population of the United States
The hypothesis that the relationship between socio-economic status and fertility is changing from a negative one to a positive one as urbanization increases is examined. The Growth of American Families Study, conducted in 1955, provides data which are analyzed for two groups of people living in non-farm areas: indigenous non-farm couples and farm migrants. The authors conclude that when socio-economic status is measured by husband's income, the n…
