INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE
You are invited to participate in this survey for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and the
Department of Labor because you are currently working on a farm. The purpose of the survey is to learn more about
the living conditions and health of farm workers.
PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED
You will be asked to answer some questions about your work history and about your health. The interview will last
approximately 60 minutes.
RISKS
Since we will only be asking you questions, there is very little risk to you as a result of being in the survey. You
may refuse to answer any question at any time, with no penalty.
BENEFITS
There are no direct benefits to you from being in the survey. But, knowledge gained through this research may
help us learn how to prevent any harmful effects of farm work for workers like you.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Your answers to the interview will be kept private to the extent allowed by law. This means that the interview
record will be kept in a locked file, and only researchers on the survey will be allowed to see it. Your name will
not appear on any reports about the survey. (See back of page for details.)
ALTERNATIVES TO PARTICIPATION
Participating in this survey is voluntary and you can quit at any time. You can also choose not to participate in
any part of the interview at any time, with no penalty. Whether or not you participate in this survey will not affect
benefits and services to which you are normally entitled. You will be paid for the time you are spending in this
interview. However, if you choose not to participate in sections of the interview you may not receive the full
payment. At any time, you may ask the researchers to explain any part of the survey.
