This project implements and evaluates a promotora-based intervention targeted at adolescent farm workers. The goal of the project is to determine the effectiveness of each intervention in promoting increased knowledge and practice of pesticide safety behaviors.
This project implements and evaluates a promotora-based intervention targeted at adolescent farm workers. The intervention will be delivered to two different treatment groups: 1) adolescent only, adolescents receive the adapted adolescent version of La Familia Sana program and 2) family enhanced, adolescent and mother both receive the La Familia Sana program. In addition, there will be a control group where adolescent farmworkers will not be exposed to any pesticide safety program. Our project will:

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| knowledge of pesticide safety behaviors | This outcome measure will be assessed by a series of nine questions asking adolescents "How do you believe that farmworkers can come in contact with pesticides while working?" Additionally, nine additional questions will be asked that assess "How do you believe that farmworkers can have contact with pesticides while at home?" All responses for these questions are "yes" or "no" | 7 weeks |
| Self-protective behaviors | Self-protective behaviors will be assessed by items asking adolescents about their clothes wearing and handling and their hand washing behaviors. Items regarding clothes wearing and handling include self-reported frequency of removing shoes and clothes prior to entering their home and wearing the same clothes more than one day. Additionally, several questions ask about the frequency of wearing shorts, sandals, gloves, etc. Regarding hand washing behavior, adolescents will self-report their hand washing behaviors at pretest and posttest. These questions ask youth about the frequency in which they wash their hands prior to eating, drinking, chewing gum, using the restroom, touching co-workers, etc. All self-protective behavior questions have a response option of "never", "sometimes", "usually", and "always" | 7 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Neurological functioning | Neurological functioning in the form of coordination and fine motor skills will be assessed by the finger tapper test. This measure focuses specifically on speed and is sensitive to the effects of neurotoxicants. The finger tapper test produces a mean score for both the participant's dominant and non-dominant hand as a result of a series of 10 second tapping exercises. | 7 weeks |
