DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this study is to identify health disparities of children, age birth to twelve years, in the population of marginalized itinerant carnival workers and migrant farm workers, and compare them to national statistics. The long-term goal is to develop policies and creative interventions to improve access to health care. These children are predominantly from minority racial and ethnic groups. Health disparities related to adequacy of immunization rates, well-child examinations, dental health, growth parameters, and quality of life will be measured. Growth parameters will include weight, height, body mass index, and waist and head circumference. Faculty and students from the College of Dentistry will participate in the evaluation of children's dental health status. Criteria for adequacy are derived from the American Academy of Pediatrics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and American Dental Association standards. A total of 128 children will comprise the sample. Children of carnival workers (n=64) will be recruited from Ohio state and county fairs and carnivals, and children of migrant farm workers (n=64) will be recruited from Ohio farms. These data may contribute to a database may be used to establish standards and predict future health risks.

说明(申请人提供)：这项研究的目的是确定边缘化流动嘉年华工作者和外来农场工人人口中出生至12岁儿童的健康差距，并将其与国家统计数据进行比较。长期目标是制定政策和创造性干预措施，以改善获得卫生保健的机会。这些儿童主要来自少数民族、种族和族裔群体。将测量与免疫充分率、健康儿童检查、牙齿健康、生长参数和生活质量有关的健康差距。生长参数将包括体重、身高、体重指数、腰围和头围。牙科学院的教职员工和学生将参与儿童牙齿健康状况的评估。充分性的标准来源于美国儿科学会、疾病控制和预防中心和美国牙科协会的标准。共有128名儿童将组成样本。嘉年华工作者()的子女将从俄亥俄州和县的集市和嘉年华活动中招募，农民工()的子女将从俄亥俄州的农场招募。这些数据可能有助于建立一个数据库，用于建立标准和预测未来的健康风险。
