Study: Inadequate Housing Puts Hispanic Farm Workers at Risk
Tagged: family, Professor, State Farm“Many Hispanic farm worker families in North Carolina live in inadequate housing that puts them at higher risk of exposure to disease, toxins and overcrowding that can affect their psychological well-being, according to new research by the Wake Forest University School of Medicine.
“Our findings suggest that the health of farm worker families is at risk due to inadequate housing,” said lead researcher Thomas Arcury, Ph.D., professor of family and community medicine at Wake Forest. “It is important to improve these conditions because of the vital role [farm workers] play in the state farm economy and, therefore, the state economy of North Carolina.”"
