| Abstract | As part of Project HAPPIER (Health Awareness Patterns Preventing Illnesses and Encouraging Responsibility), a survey was conducted among teachers and other migrant personnel in Illinois to assess the current health needs of migrants. The availability of educational materials was also investigated in the survey in order to ensure that a proposed health resources guide would meet the needs of migrant health and education staffs and migrant parents. Respondents indicated that migrant "wellness" and disease prevention should be a coordinated effort, led by migrant health projects and migrant education programs. The major barrier to adequate health care was high cost, compounded by the migrant environment and life style and lack of information. Teachers, outreach workers, and nurses were seen as the most influential in promoting good health practices and also were the major health providers. Dental health, nutrition, fitness, and substance abuse were the most important instructional areas. Parents' health values and beliefs, their present health knowledge, and an awareness of the barriers to good health habits were essential to the teaching process. Materials should be designed to be integrated with existing curriculum. Dental health materials were needed most. These results were similar to the results of a national study, also conducted by Project HAPPIER, using a similar survey form. Appendices contain the 6-page survey form, data tables, and respondents' comments. (JHZ) |
