US female Latina seasonal farm workers (LSW) are a medically underserved community experiencing severe health disparities. We explored the relationship between alcohol and prescription medication, and LSW social networks using a qualitative approach. In 2015, this study used convenience sampling to recruit 28 LSWs in South Florida for three focus group discussions in Spanish. Focus groups were translated to English for analysis, which employed a general inductive approach. Themes included prescription medication distribution within networks, spirituality/religion practice with friends and family, and alcohol use with friends. Substance abuse prevention and treatment interventions should account for the unique needs of LSW.
美国女性拉丁裔季节性农场工人(LSW)是一个医疗服务不足的群体,他们面临着严重的健康不平等。我们使用定性方法探讨了酒精和处方药物与 LSW 社交网络之间的关系。2015 年,本研究使用便利抽样在南佛罗里达州招募了 28 名 LSW 参加了三次西班牙语焦点小组讨论。焦点小组的讨论内容被翻译为英文进行分析,采用了一般归纳方法。主题包括网络内的处方药物分配、与朋友和家人一起进行的灵性/宗教实践,以及与朋友一起饮酒。药物滥用预防和治疗干预措施应该考虑到 LSW 的独特需求。
