Abstract: It is estimated that there are approximately 1.5 million migrant farm workers in the US. Many of these individuals migrate from Zika-affected countries in Central America, with 74% of the agricultural workers surveyed in 2009-2010 reporting Mexico as their country of birth (USDA, National Agricultural Worker Survey). They represent a vulnerable population in terms of Zika transmission due to multiple factors, such as working outside during the period in which the vector bites (daylight hours), living in sub-standard housing with minimal screens, limited to no English proficiency, and having an illegal status in the US that may prevent them from seeking health care services if symptomatic. Migrant farm workers often work in isolated areas with little access to transportation – their only source of transportation may be that provided by farm labor contractors or other employers, which may limit their access to health care or stores where they could purchase preventive measures such as insect repellent. The Global Migration Task Force, in collaboration with the US Mexico Unit (USMU)/Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) proposes to do a rapid qualitative assessment of migrant farm workers in four states (FL, GA, TX and CA) in order to better describe farm migrant workers’ understanding of Zika virus and Zika communication messages and their access and willingness to use public health interventions (such as insect repellents and condoms) to prevent the spread of Zika. Information will also be gathered about use of health care services and major concerns related to Zika.

Emergency Justfication: CDC requests an Emergency Clearance submission of US-based Migrant Farm Workers Understanding and Use of Measures to Prevent Zika Transmission. Information will be gathered to assess the following for the Migrant Farm Worker population in the U.S.: General knowledge and understanding of Zika virus and risk of Zika transmission, Concerns in relation to Zika infection and transmission, Knowledge about Zika prevention, Willingness to use preventive measures or to seek health care if sick, Access to preventive measures and health care, and Gaps in knowledge that indicate additional or more culturally appropriate health communication is needed This qualitative assessment will provide data that can inform health and risk reduction communications that are most appropriate to this particular at-risk population. These findings will be shared with State and Local Health Departments, as well as their partner migrant farm work organizations. Following the focus group discussions and individual interviews, cleared CDC Zika communication literature translated to Spanish can be shared with the migrant farm workers, as well as with employers, which will broaden the population base that receives Zika health communication.
