The Division of Public Health Practice and Translational Research invites you to join us on March 18th at 1:00pm for a presentation from Guest Speaker Dr. Alice Larson on "A New Approach to Estimating Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers abd Other Hard to Count Populations." This event is open to all UArizona.
Guest Speaker: Dr. Alice Larson
Alice C. Larson, Ph.D., Director of Larson Assistance Service (a research, development and advocacy firm) has been working with a variety of migrant and seasonal farmworker (MSFW) programs and services for over 40 years at the national, regional, state, and local levels. A major part of Dr. Larson’s career has been devoted to estimating MSFWs, a field in which she is a nationally recognized expert. In 1998, she began working with the Office of Migrant Health, providing worker and household member numbers at the county level. This experience led to the development of a unique enumeration approach focusing on collaboration and using a range of methodologies to produce figures that are reliable, broadly accepted and widely utilized. Dr. Larson is currently working with the Southwest Center for Agricultural Health, Injury Prevention & Education and others to expand the availability of this proven methodology to a broad section of researchers and consider the potential for its use with other vulnerable/hidden populations.
