Bridging the occupational policy to practice gap
Introduction: Landscaping and tree care work are among the most dangerous jobs in the U.S. with fatality rates more than five times the national average, and injury rates twice as high. Despite these alarming statistics, these occupations remain largely unregulated, with little safety training information available for workers. Aim: This study aimed to address this gap by developing culturally relevant, policy-driven, safety "Toolbox Talks," tail…
Covid-19 Deaths in the United States
The geographic areas most impacted by COVID-19 may not remain static because public health measures/behaviors change dynamically, and the impacts of pandemic vulnerability also may vary geographically and temporally. The nature of the pandemic makes spatiotemporal methods essential to understanding the distribution of COVID-19 deaths and developing interventions. This study examines the spatiotemporal trends in COVID-19 death rates in the United …
Respiratory Health and Suspected Asthma among Hired Latinx Child Farmworkers in Rural North Carolina
The aim of this study was to evaluate respiratory health problems, including suspected asthma, and healthcare provider utilization among a sample of Latinx hired child farmworkers in rural North Carolina (n = 140). In 2018, a respiratory health questionnaire and breathing tests were collected from Latinx child (11-19 years) farmworkers (35.0% girls and 65.0% boys). Overall, 21.4% of children reported having been told by a medical provider that th…
Health and Occupational Injury Experienced by Latinx Child Farmworkers in North Carolina, USA
Children as young as 10 years old are hired to work on farms in the United States (U.S.). These children are largely Latinx. Using interview data collected from 202 North Carolina Latinx child farmworkers in 2017, this analysis documents the heath characteristics and occupational injuries of Latinx child farmworkers and delineates characteristics associated with their health and occupational injuries. Latinx child farmworkers include girls (37.6%…
Linking Water Infrastructure, Public Health, and Sea Level Rise
Coastal community water infrastructure is increasingly vulnerable to climate-sensitive coastal hazards. Tides, storm surges, rainfall, and salt intrusion affect infrastructure and human health. In case studies of Charleston, South Carolina, and Morehead City, North Carolina, USA, this project sought to advance risk assessment of urban water and wastewater infrastructure and identify linkages to human health impacts as risk evolves with sea level …
Predictors for Using a HIV Self-Test Among Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers in North Carolina
MSF were concerned about HIV in their community and would be willing to use to a home test kit. This pilot study provides a basis for additional research related to HIV testing within the MSF community
Work Safety Culture of Youth Farmworkers in North Carolina
Objectives. We analyzed aspects of the behavioral, situational, and psychological elements of work safety culture of hired youth farmworkers in North Carolina. Methods. Data were from interviewer-administered questionnaires completed with 87 male and female hired farmworkers aged 10 to 17 years in North Carolina in 2013. We computed means, SDs, and Cronbach α values for the perceived work safety climate and safety perception summary scores. Resul…
Work Safety Climate, Safety Behaviors, and Occupational Injuries of Youth Farmworkers in North Carolina
Objectives. The aims of this project were to describe the work safety climate and the association between occupational safety behaviors and injuries among hired youth farmworkers in North Carolina (n = 87). Methods. We conducted personal interviews among a cross-sectional sample of youth farmworkers aged 10 to 17 years. Results. The majority of youths reported that work safety practices were very important to management, yet 38% stated that super…
