项目摘要

The current influx of Mexican farmworkers largely Consists of legal migrants under new immigration policies, and a disproportionate number are settling Outside of the U.S. Southwest. The problem drinking of these farmworkers is drawing increased public attention and concern in their new communities. Emerging farmworker research suggests situational factors may contribute to problem drinking. This research will describe the relationship between situational factors (i.e., living arrangements, social isolation, and peer influence) and problem drinking among farmworkers. Two complementary field studies will be conducted in a mushroom- producing municipality in southeastern Pennsylvania. First, a community- level ethnography will be constructed from a field study of direct observation, informant interviews, and public records to identify the community context of problem drinking. Second, case studies of 12 farmworkers, based on in-depth interviews, genealogies, collateral interviews, and individual records, will help to identify the relationship of situational factors to problem drinking. The subjects for the case studies will reflect the demographics of the farmworkers and categories of living arrangements derived from previous research at the site. These qualitative methods will reduce the problems inherent in gaining access to a hidden population in order to conduct research on sensitive issues. The data will be analyzed and summarized using a computer data management system for cross-verification of the various sources and across levels (i.e., community and individual). The findings of the research will provide direction for migrant policies, intervention programs, and future research. The time frame of the study is one year: 3 months of intensive field studies and 9 months of analyzing data and writing reports.

根据新的移民政策，目前涌入的墨西哥农场工人主要是合法移民，而且有不成比例的人数在美国西南部以外定居。这些农场工人的饮酒问题在他们的新社区引起了越来越多的公众关注和关注。新出现的农场工人研究表明，情景因素可能是导致饮酒问题的原因之一。本研究将描述情境因素(即生活安排、社会隔离和同伴影响)与农场工人饮酒问题之间的关系。两项互补的实地研究将在宾夕法尼亚州东南部的一个蘑菇生产城市进行。首先，通过对直接观察、线人访谈和公共记录的实地研究，构建社区层面的人种志，以确定问题饮酒的社区背景。其次，对12名农场工人的案例研究，基于深入访谈、家谱、附带访谈和个人记录，将有助于确定情景因素与问题饮酒的关系。案例研究的对象将反映农场工人的人口统计数据和根据以前在现场进行的研究得出的生活安排类别。这些定性方法将减少接触隐藏人口以便对敏感问题进行研究所固有的问题。将使用计算机数据管理系统对各种来源和各级(即社区和个人)进行交叉核实，对数据进行分析和汇总。研究结果将为移民政策、干预计划和未来的研究提供方向。研究的时间框架为一年：3个月的密集实地考察和9个月的分析数据和撰写报告。
