The childhood obesity epidemic in the United States is well documented; however, limited attention has been given to Latino children from migrant farmworking families, and there is little research on how environmental and social factors contribute to overweight among this population.

Themes were identified through the PhotoVoice method, with 13 parent participants representing 30 children from a rural farmworking community in Southwest Florida.
