Latino migrant farm workers suffer significant health disparities, including poor oral health. The purpose of this research was to assess Latino migrant farm workers' OC awareness, including knowledge and care-seeking behaviors. A 42-item survey was developed. Trained, bilingual researchers verbally administered the survey to migrant farm workers in Hillsborough County, Florida. Frequencies and descriptive statistics were generated to report baseline data. The sample consisted of 53.7 % female respondents. The mean age for males and females respectively was 38.7 and 39.2. Most respondents had attended grade school; 6.7 % never attended school. Perceptions of cancer susceptibility were present; knowledge of OC risk factors, signs and symptoms was low. Participants were unlikely to seek preventive care. The results contribute to the limited studies regarding Latino migrant farm workers and oral cancer risk factor awareness and knowledge. Findings highlight factors influencing motivation and care-seeking behaviors, as well as provide guidance for development of educational materials.
拉丁裔流动农场工人面临显著的健康差距，包括口腔健康状况不佳。本研究的目的是评估拉丁裔流动农场工人对口腔癌的认知，包括相关知识和就医行为。我们设计了一份包含42个条目的调查问卷。训练有素的双语研究人员对佛罗里达州希尔斯伯勒县的流动农场工人进行了口头问卷调查。通过生成频率和描述性统计数据来报告基线数据。样本中女性受访者占53.7%。男性和女性的平均年龄分别为38.7岁和39.2岁。大多数受访者上过小学；6.7%的人从未上过学。他们对患癌易感性有一定认知；但对口腔癌的风险因素、体征和症状了解较少。参与者不太可能寻求预防性护理。这些结果为关于拉丁裔流动农场工人及口腔癌风险因素认知和知识的有限研究做出了贡献。研究结果突出了影响动机和就医行为的因素，并为教育材料的开发提供了指导。
