Community-Based Environmental Health Intervention
This study has been completed.
Sponsored by: National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)
Information provided by: National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00015600
  Purpose

This community-based project, called the Together for Agricultural Safety project, was developed to help farmworkers reduce their exposure to dangerous agricultural chemicals (such as pesticides) through education and social marketing. The project is a partnership of university researchers and the Farmworkers Association of Florida. After collecting extensive data from farmworkers, health providers and farm owners about primary means of pesticide exposure we are collaboratively developing an intervention that will reduce pesticide exposure by educating workers and owners about: the need to have adequate washing facilities; to wash hands frequently; to obey reentry intervals; to change work clothes after work to prevent child exposure and more.
