Oral health care is critical for farmworkers' families in Central Florida. There is little research regarding the access to primary oral health care, barriers, and behaviors of Mexican migrant families. Forty semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents who are farmworkers in order to understand the factors that impact dental service utilization. Other factors that were also examined related to parental decisions regarding visits to the dentist with their children. This study highlights the inconsistent and inadequate patterns of dental health care services available for women, men, and children of farmworkers in Central Florida.
佛罗里达州中部的农场工人家庭的口腔保健至关重要。对于墨西哥移民家庭获得初级口腔保健的途径、障碍和行为，几乎没有研究。对 40 名身为农场工人的父母进行了半结构化访谈，以了解影响牙科服务利用的因素。还研究了与父母决定带孩子看牙医有关的其他因素。本研究强调了佛罗里达州中部农场工人的妇女、男子和儿童可获得的牙科保健服务存在不一致和不足的模式。
