DESCRIPTION: The proposed study is an interdisciplinary community-based environmental research program focusing on pesticide contamination in agricultural communities. It is a collaborative endeavor bringing together the Oregon Health Sciences University Center for Research on Occupational and Environmental Toxicology (CROET) and the Oregon Child Development Coalition in the development of a multiphase research project. The project will be led be a research advisory board that includes members of the agricultural community, health and social service agencies and academic institutions. The specific aims of the study are to: (1) compare the levels of pesticides in homes as a function of the type of agricultural crop the parents work with, the types of pesticides commonly used on the crops, proximity of housing to the field and characteristics of the home; (2) evaluate specific health outcomes associated with pesticide over-exposure in both workers and their children and to evaluate specific biomarkers; and (3) assess the effectiveness of the Migrant Headstart program as a mechanism for delivering culturally-appropriate environmental health prevention strategies.

描述：拟议的研究是一项基于社区的跨学科研究 环境研究计划重点关注农药污染 农业社区。 这是一项协作努力，汇集了 俄勒冈健康科学大学职业研究中心 和环境毒理学（CROET）和俄勒冈州儿童发展 联合开发多阶段研究项目。 项目 将由一个研究顾问委员会领导，其中包括 农业社区、卫生和社会服务机构以及学术界 机构。 研究的具体目的是：（1）比较 家庭中农药含量与农作物类型的关系 父母使用的农作物常用农药的类型， 住房与场地的接近程度以及房屋的特征； (2) 评估与农药过度接触相关的具体健康结果 工人及其子女并评估特定的生物标志物；和（3） 评估移民启蒙计划作为一种机制的有效性 提供适合文化的环境健康预防措施 策略。
