这项分析描述了(1)手机和智能手机的拥有量，(2)电话号码的连续性，(3)在美国国内外使用特定技术的情况，以及(4)拉美裔农场工人对特定格式接收健康研究结果的感知程度。2012年和2013年，电信调查问卷分别向北卡罗来纳州的165名和102名农场工人进行了调查。完成了单因素和双因素分析。越来越多的拉丁裔农场工人拥有手机和智能手机。通话和文本功能使用频率较高。相对较少的农场工人保持一致的电话号码。他们更喜欢通过低技术格式接收研究结果。利用手机改善健康或分享研究成果的策略将在这一人群中面临障碍。确定并实施有效战略以克服这些障碍的公共卫生官员或许能够利用移动技术来满足拉美裔农场工人的需求。
This analysis describes (1) cell phone and smartphone ownership, (2) continuity of phone numbers, (3) use of specific technologies while inside and outside the U.S., and (4) perceived adequacy of specific formats to receive health research results among Latino farmworkers. Telecommunications questionnaires were administered to 165 and 102 farmworkers in North Carolina in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Univariate and bivariate analyses were completed. Increasing numbers of Latino farmworkers own cell phones and smartphones. Talk and text functions are used frequently. Relatively few farmworkers maintain consistent phone numbers. They prefer to receive study results through low technology formats. Strategies to use cell phones to improve health or to share research findings will face obstacles in this population. Public health officials who identify and implement effective strategies to overcome these barriers may be able to harness mobile technologies to address the needs of Latino farmworkers.
