OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of curricula for improving knowledge and attitudes pertaining to pesticide exposure and heat illness among immigrant Latino farmworkers.
METHODS
A pesticide safety curriculum informed by the revised Worker Protection Standard (WPS) was tested against an attention placebo-controlled curriculum (heat illness) in a sample of Latino farmworkers (N = 127).
RESULTS
Pesticide safety knowledge increased in the overall sample, but did not differ by curriculum assignment. Pesticide safety behavioral intentions increased among participants in the pesticide safety curriculum but decreased among those in the other curriculum (P < 0.05). Heat illness knowledge and behavioral intentions increased more for farmworkers assigned to the heat illness than the pesticide safety curriculum.
CONCLUSION
The developed curricula show good promise for meeting the spirit of the revised WPS and for reducing the burden of heat-related fatality and morbidity among Latino farmworkers.
目的
本研究旨在确定针对移民拉丁裔农场工人的农药暴露和热病相关知识和态度的课程的有效性。
方法
在一组拉丁裔农场工人（N=127）中，根据修订后的工人保护标准（WPS）对农药安全课程进行了测试，与注意力安慰剂对照课程（热病）进行了对比。
结果
农药安全知识在整个样本中均有所增加，但课程分配没有差异。农药安全课程组的农药安全行为意向增加，而另一课程组的行为意向则减少（P<0.05）。与接受农药安全课程的工人相比，分配到热病课程的工人热病知识和行为意向增加更多。
结论
所开发的课程有望符合修订后的 WPS 的精神，并降低拉丁裔农场工人因热相关死亡和发病的负担。
