Biographical/historical information

A grant funded by the National Library of Medicine of the National Institutes of Health allowed research on "addressing migrant and seasonal farmworker health disparities with information resources" to be completed. This project focuses on improving the daily lives of migrant farmworkers by expanding access to online health information for farmworkers and their families. The three main aims for this project are to identify and make available educational materials for farmworker health, work with farmworker outreach workers on professional development and new technology and provide internet access and training to farmworkers and their families. This collection houses the education materials made available for farmworkers through this program. Partners for this grant include: Laupus Health Sciences Library, NC Farmworker Health Program, ECU College of Health and Human Performance, Student Action with Farmworkers, and the NC State Agromedicine Extension.
