In this paper we summarize the results of a workshop conducted to disseminate information about community-based research on the environmental health risks of exposure of farmworkers to pesticides. Community-based research is an approach that is advocated for addressing issues of environmental justice such as exposure of farmworkers to pesticides. This workshop brought together scientists, community organization members, and agency representatives to review and discuss the research methods and organizational relationships that have been successful in conducting past community research so these principles can be applied to new situations. The objectives of this workshop were to a) be a forum in which those conducting community-based research with farmworkers could share what they had learned; b) delineate the successes and barriers across different projects to further develop models and methods for conducting community-based research; and c) determine future directions and needs of farmworker community-based research for environmental justice.
在本文中，我们总结了一场研讨会的成果。该研讨会旨在传播有关以社区为基础的研究的信息，这些研究关注农场工人接触农药所面临的环境健康风险。以社区为基础的研究是一种被倡导用于解决环境正义问题的方法，例如农场工人接触农药的问题。本次研讨会汇聚了科学家、社区组织成员和机构代表，以回顾和讨论在过去的社区研究中取得成功的研究方法和组织关系，以便这些原则能够应用于新的情况。本次研讨会的目标是：a）成为一个论坛，让那些与农场工人开展以社区为基础的研究的人员能够分享他们所学到的知识；b）勾勒出不同项目中的成功之处和障碍，以进一步开发开展以社区为基础的研究的模式和方法；c）确定农场工人以社区为基础的环境正义研究的未来方向和需求。
