Abstract

ABSTRACT:This research focuses on issues of alcohol consumption among migrant farmworkers in Orange County, NY. Because drinking is a common behavioral response to erratic hard work and camp life, variation in alcohol consumption was analyzed within the context of a holistic perspective on migrant life. Although migrant farmworkers tend to drink more in the camp than in the home community, the multivariate analysis indicates that such variation is primarily affected by socialization and social support factors, not by work‐related variables. Potential strategies for modifying migrant farmworkers’drinking behavior are discussed based on the results of this study.
