本研究的目的是了解墨西哥女性农场工人对工作场所性骚扰的看法、其相关因素和后果以及潜在的干预点。这项基于社区的参与性研究对华盛顿农村地区的 20 名女性农场工人进行了焦点小组研究。四名编码员分析并收集了逐字记录中的解释。确定了三个主题。据了解，女性农场工人：（1）经常遭受交换条件和敌对工作环境形式的性骚扰； (2) 因骚扰而面临就业和健康后果； (3) 认为个人和行业层面的改变都可以防止骚扰。根据这些发现，作者确定了三组导致工作场所性骚扰的风险因素，并建议采用多层次方法来防止农业行业未来的骚扰。
The purpose of this study was to understand Mexican women farmworkers' perceptions of workplace sexual harassment, its related factors and consequences, and potential points of intervention. This community-based participatory research study conducted focus groups with 20 women farmworkers in rural Washington. Four coders analyzed and gleaned interpretations from verbatim transcripts. Three main themes were identified. It was learned that women farmworkers: (1) frequently experienced both quid pro quo and hostile work environment forms of sexual harassment; (2) faced employment and health consequences due to the harassment; and (3) felt that both individual- and industry-level changes could prevent the harassment. Based on these findings, the authors identified three sets of risk factors contributing to workplace sexual harassment and recommend using a multilevel approach to prevent future harassment in the agriculture industry.
