目标：向拉美裔农场工人等弱势社区提供卫生规划信息是困难的。这项分析描述了农场工人接收关于《平价医疗法案》的信息的方式，并将农场工人与其他拉丁裔进行了比较。方法：2015年对100名拉丁裔农场工人和100名北卡罗来纳州城市拉丁裔居民进行了采访。结果：大多数农场工人从社区组织获得了健康信息。健康信息的可信来源是医疗保健提供者和社区组织。可能会影响注册决定的消息来源是拉丁裔护士和医生、宗教领袖和家庭成员。传统媒体，包括口头陈述和医生办公室的印刷材料，受到大多数农场工人和非农场工人的青睐。农场工人使用传统的电子媒体：广播、电视和电话。更多的非农工人使用当前的电子媒体：电子邮件和互联网。结论：在卫生保健背景下，拉丁裔农场工人和非农场工人更喜欢传统媒体。他们愿意尝试使用现代电子媒体来获取这些信息。
Objective: Providing health program information to vulnerable communities, such as Latino farmworkers, is difficult. This analysis describes the manner in which farmworkers receive information about the Affordable Care Act, comparing farmworkers with other Latinos. Methods: Interviews were conducted with 100 Latino farmworkers and 100 urban Latino North Carolina residents in 2015. Results: Most farmworkers had received health information from a community organization. Trusted sources for health information were health care providers and community organizations. Sources that would influence decisions to enroll were Latino nurses and doctors, religious leaders, and family members. Traditional media, including oral presentation and printed material at the doctor's office, were preferred by the majority of farmworkers and non-farmworkers. Farmworkers used traditional electronic media: radio, television, and telephone. More non-farmworkers used current electronic media: e-mail and Internet. Conclusions: Latino farmworkers and non-farmworkers prefer traditional media in the context of a health care setting. They are willing to try contemporary electronic media for this information.
