The Let's Talk About Arthritis program is a prevention and self-management program on Arthritis designed specifically for the Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker population. It is designed to be implemented by Community Health Workers. Available in English and Spanish.
Did you know that arthritis is a growing problem among migrant and seasonal farmworkers? In fact, the Missouri Arthritis Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (MARRTC) has estimated that 1 to 1.7 million migrant and seasonal farmworkers are affected by arthritis. Farm work is a physically demanding job that places a lot of stress on the joints and this can lead to pain in the back, neck, and wrists and potentially arthritis. In response to this growing problem and to help farmworkers prevent arthritis and cope with joint pain. The NCFH and MARRTC have recently developed the "Let's Talk About Arthritis", (Hablemos Sobre Artritis) a prevention and self management program on arthritis specifically created for migrant and seasonal farmworkers. The training program is designed to be implemented by lay health workers (promotores de salud).
