An audit for fecal-related symptoms was performed on clinic patient charts of 936 migrant farm workers without access to water and sanitation facilities in the work fields and on an urban poor population of 8,968 patients. Migrants displayed a clinic utilization rate for diarrhea 20 times higher than that of the urban poor; similar findings for other enteric disease symptoms were documented. The data suggest that a water and sanitation standard mandating facilities in the work field for farm workers would reduce the incidence of fecal-related disease.
对936名在工作场所无法使用水和卫生设施的流动农场工人的门诊病历以及8968名城市贫困人口的门诊病历进行了与粪便相关症状的审计。流动农场工人腹泻的门诊利用率比城市贫困人口高20倍；其他肠道疾病症状也有类似发现。数据表明，要求为农场工人在工作场所配备设施的水和卫生标准将降低与粪便相关疾病的发病率。
