OBJECTIVES
To examine the type and severity of stressors experienced among Latina farmworkers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
METHODS
A survey containing the Migrant Farmworker Stress Inventory was administered to 77 female-identifying Latina farmworkers working in a US-Mexico border region. A sub-sample of five participants participated in key-informant interviews. Data collection occurred in Summer 2021.
RESULTS
Nearly 40% of Latina farmworkers reported high stress levels indicative of clinical mental health risks. Health and safety concerns and experienced stressors identified included visible substance abuse and poor bathroom conditions at the field site, language barriers, and balancing work and home life demands.
CONCLUSIONS
Latina farmworkers have unique health and safety needs, and COVID-19 has contributed to the experienced stressors. Understanding the familial and working environment sources of stress specific to female agriculture workers is imperative to implementing culturally and gender-responsive strategies to better support the health and safety of farming populations in future pandemics.
