Health Resources. While they are few in number and some were unfamiliar to the FGDPs, there are a handful of health resources available to help farm workers in the southwest Georgia community deal with the diet-related health conditions facing them. Not surprisingly, there were some commonalities in the discussions about barriers to accessing healthy food and barriers to accessing these healthcare and health resources. The local migrant health clinic, for example, offers a holistic approach to health that encompasses clinical care and health education. KI-1 highlighted the clinic’s nutrition education course; however, members of only one of the three FGDs were familiar with this program. Meanwhile, KI-3 mentioned the role of the Red Cross, Mental Health Services, and other organizations in referring people to the food bank. He estimated that most farm workers who use the food bank are referred by Mental Health Services. During the FGDs, participants were familiar with the clinic’s basic services but (in general) did not express knowledge of extra programs or outside organizations. The FGDPs and the key informants alike acknowledged that, while there are a handful of health resources available to them, farm workers are often not informed about their existence and encounter many barriers when trying to access these resources in southwest Georgia. Several women said that their families frequently did not have enough money to buy everything they needed/wanted; childcare and medical attention were mentioned as priorities that must often be foregone.

Discussion and conclusion Summary of study Study design and goals. The current study used a cross-sectional mixed methods design to understand the associations between food insecurity, diet diversity, and health outcomes, including anemia, elevated/high blood glucose, hypertension, and overweight/obesity, among migrant farm workers in southwest Georgia and the ways in which these farm workers perceive their own health and access to healthy food. A high prevalence of both food insecurity (66.1%) and low/medium dietary diversity (61.3%) was observed. Additionally, in the surveyed subset, 22.4% were hypertensive, 49.4% were anemic, 33.5% had high blood glucose and additional 41.1% had elevated ...
