You will see the biggest impact in identifying Ag workers among your patients when you ask certain questions during the patient registration process.
The questions to ask can be the following:
1. In the last 2 years, have you or anyone in your family, worked in any type of agriculture (farm work) like: planting, picking, preparing the soil, packing house, driving a truck for any type of farm work, worked with animals like cows, chickens, etc.
2. In the last 2 years, have you or a member of your family lived away from home in order to work in any type of agriculture (farm work)?
3. Have you or a member of your family stopped migrating to work in agriculture (farm work) because of a disability or age (too old to do the work)?
These questions are on the Sample: New Patient Registration Form that can be found in the Sharing Resources section.
