Objectives: To explore patterns of dental care utilization among adult Hispanic migrant farmworkers utilizing the Andersen Behavioral Model of Health Services.

Dental-Related Use of Hospital Emergency Departments by Hispanics and Non-Hispanics in Florida.

Objectives: To examine differences between Hispanics and non-Hispanics in Florida in the dental-related use of hospital emergency departments (EDs).

Methods: We used ambulatory ED discharge records from 2013 to 2015 to compute rates of ED visits for dental complaints per 10 000 population, by region, age, gender, and the percentage distribution visits by primary payer, day of the week, and hour of arrival.

Results: There were 64 100 ED visits for dental complaints by Hispanics and 425 162 by non-Hispanics.

Project Salud: Efficacy of a community-based HIV prevention intervention for Hispanic migrant workers in south Florida.

Project Salud evaluates the efficacy of a community-based intervention to reduce risk behaviors and enhance factors for HIV-preventative behaviors. A randomized controlled trial of 278 high risk Latino migrant workers was conducted between 2008 and 2010. Participants completed an audio computer-assisted self-interview questionnaire at baseline and 3- and 9-month post-intervention follow-ups.

The Latino Migrant Worker HIV Prevention Program: building a community partnership through a community health worker training program.

There is limited information on the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on Latino migrant workers (LMWs), although available data indicate that this community is being disproportionally affected. The need for prevention programs that address the specific needs of LMWs is becoming well recognized. HIV prevention interventions that train and employ community health workers are a culturally appropriate way to address the issues of community trust and capacity building in this community.

Project Salud: Using community-based participatory research to culturally adapt an HIV prevention intervention in the Latino migrant worker community.

Despite the unique and challenging circumstances confronting Latino migrant worker communities in the U.S., debate still exists as to the need to culturally adapt evidence-based interventions for dissemination with this population.
