Health Care Disparities Among Latinx Migrant Field Workers: A Literature Review

Despite being one of the fastest growing populations in the United States, the health of migrant agricultural workers often goes unnoticed. The purpose of this literature review was to understand the health care disparities experienced by Latinx migrant farmworkers related to pesticide exposures in their occupation. This project specifically focuses on the Latinx migrant community. The term Latinx was selected as it is an all-inclusive term with no limitations based on gender. The migrant community consists of people who relocated to the United States from Central and South America and now work in the agricultural occupations. Analysis of the research gathered engages the possibility of interventions to promote health equity among this community and cultural competent care needed in the context of nursing to improve the health disparities for the Latinx migrant farmworker population.Bachelor of Scienc
