DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The primary purpose of this project is to develop a permanent partnership that will empower the Hispanic agricultural worker community in the Yakima Valley, Washington State, to effectively identify, characterize and respond to the many occupational and environmental risks they face. The target population is the seasonal and migrant agricultural workers in the middle Yakima Valley. The Northwest Community Education Center/Radio KDNA, Heritage College, the Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic, and the University of Washington will partner in this multi-disciplinary project. This project will organize and sustain a community advisory board (CAB) comprised of unions, church groups, community members and other representative community groups. Through the guidance of the CAB a community process will develop a prioritized research and action agenda. The activities of the project will use a participatory action research (PAR) approach as a means to obtain new perspectives and an ecological framework to identify and prioritize occupational and environmental health stressors. The plan will include frequent community communication and education, an interactive evaluation process, curriculum development for Heritage College students and ConneX summer trainees and further data collection by students and community members. Technical expertise will be tapped from the University of Washington Schools of Nursing and Public Health and Heritage College. Preliminary data collection will support the development of new research proposals. The products of this process will be a sustainable community-academic-clinical partnership, an empowered cadre of young people from the community and improved occupational and environmental health for Hispanic agricultural workers.

描述（由申请人提供） 该项目的主要目的是建立一种永久的伙伴关系，使华盛顿州亚基马山谷的西班牙裔农业工人社区能够有效地识别、描述和应对他们面临的许多职业和环境风险。 目标人口是亚基马山谷中部的季节性和移徙农业工人。 西北社区教育中心/KDNA电台、传统学院、亚基马山谷农场工人诊所和华盛顿大学将合作开展这一多学科项目。 该项目将组织和维持一个由工会、教会团体、社区成员和其他有代表性的社区团体组成的社区咨询委员会。 通过CAB的指导，社区进程将制定优先研究和行动议程。 该项目的活动将采用参与性行动研究方法，作为获得新视角和生态框架的一种手段，以查明职业和环境健康压力因素并确定其优先次序。 该计划将包括频繁的社区沟通和教育，互动评估过程，遗产学院学生和ConneX暑期学员的课程开发以及学生和社区成员的进一步数据收集。 技术专长将从华盛顿大学护理学院和公共卫生与遗产学院获得。 初步数据收集将支持新研究提案的制定。 这一进程的产物将是一个可持续的社区-学术-临床伙伴关系，一个来自社区的年轻人的授权干部，以及西班牙裔农业工人的职业和环境健康的改善。
