Title : Breast health beliefs, behaviors, and barriers among latina permanent resident and migratory farm workers Material Type: printed text Authors: Schlehofer, Michèle M., Author ; Brown-Reid, Tina P., Author Publication Date: 2016 Article on page: p.71-88. Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Abstract: There is a dearth of research on the breast health behaviors of migratory farm workers. This research used focus group methodology to compare the breast cancer beliefs and barriers of Latina women working as migratory farmers (n = 33) and permanent residents (n = 31). In comparison to their permanent resident counterparts, migrant farmers had low knowledge about the causes of breast cancer, and experienced significant barriers to care Many barriers were cultural - specific including culturally - based gender roles These findings have significant implications for designing culturally - relevant interventions to improve access to care among this population.
