DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Agriculture consistently ranks as one of the three most hazardous occupations in the United States, yet few studies have been conducted that examine the specific risks to pregnant women in the workforce. Exposure to agricultural chemicals is a major occupational and reproductive hazard and other factors such as long periods of standing, exposure to heat and dehydration also have the potential to impact the health of pregnant women and their unborn children. In this exploratory study investigators from Emory University, and the University of Florida will partner with the Farmworker Association of Florida and the Farmworker Health and Safety Institute to examine how female farmworkers assess the risks of certain environmental and occupational hazards to pregnancy. This partnership brings together experts in community-based participatory research and methods of education and organizing among farmworkers. The study team has extensive scientific expertise in occupational exposures and clinical backgrounds in maternal health. We will examine current perceptions of work hazards and pregnancy health among female farmworkers working in nursery and fernery operations in Florida and conduct a large community survey of the extent of exposures to heat, ergonomic and chemical exposures that have the potential to impact pregnancy outcomes among farmworker women. We will assess biomarkers of pesticide exposure in a subsample of our female population. Culturally and linguistically- appropriate educational materials emphasizing health promoting and protective behaviors during pregnancy for female farmworkers will be developed and lessons learned, study results and educational materials will be disseminated to farmworkers and the health and scientific community through farmworker community public forums, peer reviewed journal articles, presentations at professional conferences and, and web-based publications. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: In this exploratory study investigators from Emory University, and the University of Florida will partner with the Farmworker Association of Florida and the Farmworker Health and Safety Institute to examine how female farmworkers assess the risks of certain environmental and occupational hazards to pregnancy.

描述（由申请人提供）：在美国，农业一直被列为最危险的三个职业之一，但很少有研究调查孕妇在劳动力中所面临的具体风险。接触农业化学品是一项主要的职业和生殖危害，而其他因素，如长时间站立、接触高温和脱水，也有可能影响孕妇及其未出生儿童的健康。在这项探索性研究中，来自埃默里大学和佛罗里达大学的调查人员将与佛罗里达农场工人协会和农场工人健康与安全研究所合作，研究女性农场工人如何评估某些环境和职业危害对怀孕的风险。这一伙伴关系汇集了以社区为基础的参与性研究以及农场工人教育和组织方法方面的专家。该研究小组在产妇保健的职业暴露和临床背景方面具有广泛的科学专门知识。我们将审查目前在佛罗里达州从事苗圃和植物业务的女性农场工人对工作危害和怀孕健康的看法，并对可能影响农场工人妇女怀孕结果的高温、人体工程学和化学品暴露程度进行大规模社区调查。我们将在女性人群的亚样本中评估农药暴露的生物标志物。将编写在文化和语言上适当的教育材料，强调女性农场工人在怀孕期间的健康促进和保护行为，并将通过农场工人社区公共论坛、同行评议的期刊文章、在专业会议上的发言和基于网络的出版物，向农场工人以及卫生和科学界传播经验教训、研究结果和教育材料。
