Publication Type: Poster Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: It iIt is a sad irony that a group of people so vital to food production in the United States are among its poorest and most marginalized. With limited pathways to citizenship, economic crisis in their home community and the pull of cheap labor needs in the United States many Mexican and Central American people find employment in low-wage manual labor, such as agriculture. Migrant and seasonal farm workers (MSFWs) live under adverse circumstances and are exposed to numerous occupational and psychosocial stressors such as poverty, substandard living conditions, malnutrition, hazardous chemicals, separation from family, long work days, and discrimination. Few studies have examined the relationship between these stressors and the psychological health of MSFWs. Even fewer have focused on potential strengths within migrant communities, such as coping responses to stress. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between discrimination-based stress and depression in a sample of migrant and seasonal agricultural workers in South Georgia. Data were collected in Spanish at migrant and seasonal farm worker camps during the summer harvest season of 2010 in South Georgia as part of a dissertation requirement. The sample consisted of 120 migrant and seasonal farm workers. The Latino men in this study were on average 33 years old and predominantly Mexican (92.5%). Exploratory analysis sought to examine what unique coping strategies were associated with Latino men reporting discrimination-based stress. Preliminary hierarchical regressions suggest that experiencing discrimination-based stress significantly predicts higher symptoms of depression. Further, analyses suggest that higher alcohol consumption exacerbates this effect. While religious coping and calling home frequently act as protective factors between discrimination-based stress and depression. Mental health interventions in migrant communities can draw on these finding by tailoring interventions to increase the availability of resources in camps, such as increasing access to telephones, calling cards, and religious services.
